Bienvenue

 Merci for taking time to visit.  This is my first blog post ever so please be patient as I learn my way around.   As the name implies this blog will be rather heavy on all things romantical with a decidedly French flair. 


Romance has always been my theme, a lifestyle I continually aspire to achieve.   In spite of  life's hustle bustle and not having the time to stop and smell the roses as often as I'd like, I can still appreciate and savor the little moments that can mean so much. 

Allowing everyday people, places and things to be the inspiration for romance.
