I am "morte de jalousie" !! As I say on my profile, I love to walk on the streets, le nez en l'air (quite dangerous !!). So I am glad that no skyscrapers in Paris , so I can see the top of the buildins : balconies, terraces, sometimes gardens, not so amazing as your "gloriette" though !! Today is Sunday, confession day (for catholics, of course), so my other sin : sneaking through open porchs to get a glimpse of the inside of the courtyards !! It is bad, I know, but it is so good too !!!
Marylene -- I'm Catholic too, and I always sneak a peek into the courtyards and gardens of others. I don't think that's a sin at all—just normal curiosity. However, the envy I feel is definitely worth confessing!
That's something else! It goes to show that one can create a little wonderland with potted plants and so on - even if one can't extend to a stupendously gorgeous glass conservatory. Sigh.
kenju -- I wonder who lives there too. But you can hardly walk one block in that neighborhood without encountering 12 or 14 "celebrities," so I'm guessing I would recognize the name of the owner if I heard it.

ReplyDeleteAnd might I add, the gorgeous conservatory happens to be a Pointy-topped Doo-dad, n'est-ce pas?
ReplyDeleteWOW. I wonder who lives there!?
ReplyDeleteShell -- yes, it is!
