“Bon jour, mes amies!” Today is International Day of Francophonie!

As befits the day, here is a picture that I took from my hotel window in Paris.

Half a billion Francophones around the world will celebrate International Day of Francophonie on 20 March. This event began in 1998  as a way for the 49 members of La Francophonie to celebrate their common bond, the French language, as well as their diversity.

French is an official language in 33 countries  on 5 continents.

“Au revoir, et à bientôt!”

Well, I didn’t know about the day’s designation when I posted my Photo Friday this week…

What a great view you had from your window.
