Eiffel view

Every once in awhile, you turn a corner, and... there it is!

That tower, the sunlight, a lovely day. Wonderful city.


This post's theme word is oenophile, "someone who enjoys wine." (EE-nuh-fyl) What is that in the distance? Aaaaah, welcome to the land of oenophiles!

This post's theme word is usufruct, "the right to use and enjoy another's property without destroying it." Walking the castle's grounds is an usufruct often exploited by tourists.
