A perfect Paris weekend

We plan to spend more time here this summer on the rooftop of the Terrass Hotel.

We capped the last night of Shirley's visit at the rooftop bar of the Terrass Hotel in Montmartre , nursing our expensive drinks while we waited for the Eiffel Tower's light show.  

It was really the perfect ending to a weekend, which included a visit to the Musée Marmottan Monet. That museum not only offers the largest collection of works by Monet and Morisot, it is also currently featuring a special

exhibit through July 6, 2014, called "The Impressionists in Private," with 100 artworks from private collections all over the world (80 paintings and 20 graphic works) so we enjoyed a rare treat.

That night, as we walked home, we passed a small cafe where a group of mostly young people were dancing with abandon as a jazz guitarist played.  The window was open and they beckoned us in. If we had not been so tired, we would have joined them, but we did stay and listen for several minutes, until the last note faded away.
