Love Trees




I call them the "Love Trees" of Paris. I can't be sure if all the carvings from top to bottom are messages of love, but it sure looks like it. If and when you find yourself strolling along the Seine, keep an eye out for them. You'll find them running parallel to the Louvre for about a hundred metres. I don't know if the local authorities intended for the trees to look this way, but the messages of l'amour seem to be perfectly at home there.

Ah, love. Sigh. I showed the husband the pictures on your blog and he's fallen in love. Italy still holds the #1 spot in our hearts (never been, must go) but you make Paris sound (and look) less and less like a cliché. We will go. In this lifetime. :D
