Traveling Tuesdays

This is Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral very early
in the morning, before the tourists showed up.
I guess you might say I'm a tourist too, but I'd
much rather be considered a visitor—it's
a fine distinction perhaps, but an important one.
Anyone who loves to travel knows exactly what I mean!

    Such gorgeous light. It’s like being at the hearth of heaven.

    But hark! What is that sound my ears discern?

    I think you are more than a visitor!

    Considering your knowledge of Paris, your long history/love affair with the city and your "like at home" attitude when wandering in the streets, I would consider you as a "citoyenne d'honneur" de Paris!!!

    And I am sure that Eric and friends would totally agree with me!

    I adore the feeling of being a visitor ~rather than a tourist.
    That was well said~

    Yes, there's a difference....I enjoy visiting many places in Paris before the tourists. Your photo makes me nostalgic...

    You know how I love churches and this is one of the most magnificent. I love your capture here with the rose window and the soft colors on the stone. The architectural details are stunning. I hope you have this one propped up somewhere to see often.

    Bises,
    Genie
