Welcome to Wednesdays as hosted at MizB's
Today I'm focusing on the final of the 3 reading questions ~
What do I think I'll read next...?
I discovered the Paris in July challenge and I'm jumping in!
So I'm searching my TBR galleys for Paris/French related topics that will develop my participation accordingly.
This challenge covers any French related genre, and welcomes
fiction to photos to food!
Here's this week's outline ~

For me, living in an English/French bilingual country there is a lot available by way of
books, locale, promenades, patisseries, bistros, museums, history -
and that's just in the French quarter of my own city!

Here's my local contribution for Tuesday Travels ~

Saint Boniface, the first permanent mission west of the
Great Lakes, became the heart of Roman Catholic missionary activity extending
to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, as well as serving the growing population of
the Red River Settlement.
Five cathedrals have stood on this beautiful location overlooking the river. In
1832, Bishop Provencher erected a cathedral surmounted by twin spires, and in
1862 a stone cathedral was built under the direction of Bishop Taché. On August
15, 1906, Archbishop Langevin blessed the cornerstone of what became one of the
most imposing churches in Western Canada. It was designed by the Montreal
architectural firm of Marchand and Haskell. This structure, the best example of
French Romanesque architecture in Manitoba, was ravaged by fire on July 22,
1968.
The present cathedral was designed by Franco-Manitoba
architect Étienne Gaboury. It incorporates the sacristy, façade and walls of
the former basilica.

If you're a fan of Paris and all things en francais,
perhaps this Paris in July Challenge will answer Wednesday's
W of What are you reading next?
like it has for me...
..so I am exploring directions I'd like to pursue for posting.
If you're interested, head over to see Tamara in NSW at Thyme for Tea
and you'll find all the details to help you decide.
A wonderful post by American author, Adria, on the
Magic of Paris in July is definitely inspiring!
