Paris in July 2024- My Experiences on a great event



Paris in July 2024


 Paris in July 2024 was a great event. Sad to see it end and hoping to return next year.


 I learned about new to me authors, vicariously visited Paris and fantasised about world class cuisine.  


I offer my thanks to the hosts, to all who participated and special gratitude to everyone who commented on my posts.
