French Kissing sans Orange Beret

A tour of paris   Judy and Chris

Kissing by the eiffel 

As you can see Chris (my cousin's husband) is not wearing an orange beret. He opted to French kiss through Paris with Judy (his wife and my cousin). I must admit I was a bit disappointed at first… I was dreaming up many ideas with that orange beret….  But certainly French kissing anywhere is better than wearing a bright orange beret, and taking photos of lovers in Paris far more exciting!

                 Red beret 

I found a red beret wearer…. doesn't anyone wear orange anymore? Maybe I should run a contest asking:

"DO YOU WANT TO WIN A TRIP TO FRANCE TO BE THE MODEL OF THE ORANGE BERET?"

                                                      Kissing in Paris 

French kissing under the arc…. Judy gives me the thumbs up as she thinks, "Far far better idea than wearing an orange beret!"

Laduree 

To think Laduree haunted me with orange,

                     Rose d'inde 

and the flower market too!

                            Kissing sweet 

Sweet kissing in Paris sans orange beret.

Now for that contest, do you want me to send you the rules?

    Yes Corey….rules please! Although since I won the beautiful antique teacup I should exclude myself. Maybe not.
    I love the kissing photos, so sweet. It seems that it was cloudy and moody in Paris that day. That’s how I think of Paris – atmospheric, never full out sunny. I know that’s not true, but humor me.

    Yes, yes, please send the rules.
    I will wear an orange beret for a trip to France, I am easy…orange works for me. Want orange hair I would do that…move over Jean Claude. I would come orange from top to toe.
    Kiss a Frenchman named Yann, I would do that…What? that will not be part of the rules?
    Bring the on the rules I am on my way to the hairdresser.

    Very good post…
    You seem to have so much fun in Paris…
    I think everything has turned different here…
    Even our traditional orange TGVs have turned silver grey… and very soon the RATP orange card will disappear (2009)…
    Now what about pumpkins??? check it out !!!

    DO YOU WANT TO WIN A TRIP TO FRANCE TO BE THE MODEL OF THE ORANGE BERET?” Of course, but I’d much rather be the model for some French kissing! I doubt I’d look as good as your cousins, but I’m willing to give it a try.

    Lovely photos, Corey. What a wonderful gift you have given them, and for all the unforgettable memeories that they will have of Paris. I do love a game, especially if it has anything to do with Paris. I’ll happily play the game whatever the rules!

    I love Paris so much. One of the most fun trips that my husband and I ever had was when we signed up on a bus trip from England to Paris and we did this whirlwind tour for a day and a half. But OHHH we had so many laughs and we ran around like kids in a candy store. It was totally exhausting but still very fun (and cheap too!)
    Damn. I’m going to drag him there again and then I’m going to kiss him like what Judy and Chris did. Thanks for the inspiration, Corey!

    How romantic and so very touching. Forget the orange beret. There is nothing better than “french kisses” with your significant other along the streets of Paris!!!

    They are lovely, and so are the photos. I have never had much in the way of wanderlust until just the last few years. I think I’ve just gotten brave enough to want to see other places! Paris definitely makes the list.
    Hope you are well and readjusting to your life back in France.
