In case you missed it, early last year I published a post sharing my love for the French movie Amélie... And telling the story of how this film (and a red polka dot umbrella), inspired me to travel to Paris back in 2003: At the time, I promised to revisit this post and share photos of the red umbrella on its second visit to Paris, ten years later.
