Thinking of 'April in Paris'...Check Arnaud Frich photo gallery of the City of Lights

I associate this place with the idea of a quiet walk and taking a breather on one of the park's benches to browse through a favorite book. Thanks to Arnaud Frich for allowing me to use his photos. Visit his site to see all 11 pages of photos he took of Paris.

My choice is 'Falanghina...
