Yes, Madame est à Paris once again, as our stay in London wound down to an end. Just a quick train trip over on the Eurostar, and we're in central Paris, ready to stroll.
Thought I'd just share a few postcards from our visit....
Strolling through Montmartre watching the artists in the shadows of Sacré Coeur
Taking a sniff of the beautiful flowers displayed so beautifully on the pavement
Shopping at Galéries Lafayette for Guerlain
and Chanel
Red tables set up for lunch
Warm weather luring travelers and locals alike to eat outdoors
Finding little out of the way restaurants
and boutique hotels
Enjoying the gardens of the Louvre
Remembering to look up while standing in line for a lemon tart at the bakery Au Petit Versailles du Marais
Checking out the love locks on the Pont de L'Archevêché behind Notre Dame cathedral
Making a detour to Ladurée
known for their delicious macarons
and whimsy
This time being allowed (shock!) to take a photo
of the interior. So much beauty!
Stopping by our "favorite apartment" on the Left Bank, where we dream of having a "pied-à-terre" someday
Cuteness all wrapped up in a little French dog
Sunset on the Place de la Concorde
where the sun and the water sprays
danced in harmony
Making this trip even more special was spending the day with a friend, as we each head separate ways from London.
A Parisian "au-revoir" to a special friend.
Postcards from Paris--being sent your way!
