Just the girls

Our photographer, John Lewis’s sister Georgina who visited Paris for Thanksgiving, considers this photo her best work that day.

The runner-up

This is the runner-up photo, showing the family that's spent the fall trying to settle and figure out how to live happily in France, here enjoying a first snow-fall.

Holiday greeting photo

This was the winner among photos taken for our holiday greeting. Yes, the mustaches are real (not photoshopped). As are the baguettes. And the snowflakes. The defiant attitude? Purely manufactured for the photo shoot. We are, in fact, a bit unnerved with how naturally the girls fell into the pose. Born resistance fighters?
