Merry Covid Christmas 2! Concentrating on all the good things, family and friends even if we can’t all be together, cooking, decorating, listening to music and singing along. Every ornament has a story and a memory, kids growing up, elders passing on… Zoom present-opening and virtual hugs.

One of our blessings is living in this toy Parisian village, especially wonderful at this time of year. Here’s some Christmas art from Avenue Secretan to spread some cheer as we await the next episodes in this confusing and confounding COVID saga…

Holiday lights sponsored by the local merchants
Bakery art in one if our 5 bakeries
Chocolate art
Italian Deli art
Floral art
Veg and fruit art
Cheese art
One of our 3 butcher shops

Took a walk around the block last night enjoying the holiday lights in the shops and over the streets, regretting that café window paintings had become a thing of the past, but no, there is still someone out there practicing this rare folk art! Don’t miss this place, at the corner of Avenue Jean Jaurès and rue Bouret, I think it’s the Café du Conservatoire, there’s a lot to see on the terrace. Will keep searching and post what I can find.

Wishing everyone joy and warmth, blessings to count, rebirth of the light in and around us…
