Ahh, the bench looks like such a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the countryside. You must enjoy having a get-away where you can escape the hectic pace of life in Paris!
Seeing all of the roses in bloom reminds me that I must get to Bagetelle this year.

It’s wonderful to escape the hectic pace of life in Paris, I agree, but I’m also supposed to be working (translating) and keep getting distracted.
Have you been to the rose gardens in Hay-les-Roses? Quite spectacular!
Looking forward to staying with you and cycling in Blois in a couple of weeks time. I am not too sure about hills. Do bikes have gears??? When did this happen?

Ah, this sounds promising! Yes, they do have gears. I have 3×7 on my bike … They are what help you go up the hills :). But you might be reassured when you read tomorrow’s post. Not every bike path has hills, particularly when they are along the river banks and on old railway lines.
Absolutely beautiful! What a great day you had….
We certainly did!
What gorgeous roses..looks like such a pretty area, Fraussie 🙂
Did you get my email?
Cheers Jill 🙂
Hi Jill, it really is a pretty area! I’ve now answered your email (which I thought I’d already done …)

Your photos are gorgeous and make me miss cycling there. Keep the stories and photos coming!
Yes, now the weather’s improved, it’ll be easier to do so!
