Paris, France
The croissants. The food. The wine. The macarons. The history, buildings, hotels, parks, streets, fashion, shopping, and people. Paris, je t’aime.
Looking back, our trip to France, and the four days we spent in Paris, seem like such a blur now, but just a few weeks ago, surrounded by all there was to see, and do, and eat, it felt like we could just stay forever, lost in the cafe-clad streets, accordion renditions of Edith Piaf’s La Vie en rose wafting through the air with the smell of fresh croissants.

You might have noticed that things have been a little quiet here on the blog lately, as Michael & I were on a brief hiatus for the last week and a half while traveling throughout France. Of course, we’ll have full posts detailing our trips to Paris and Provence, but for now we thought we’d share a few of our favorite Instagram photos from our travels. We were fortunate to enjoy some of the best meals imaginable during our trip, and while we weren’t snacking on croissants and macarons in between, we experienced some of the most breathtaking and inspiring … Continue reading Back from France!
