my friend deborah worked in paris

for a year and she said i had to get

macarons from laduree's. she was right,

they are SO good, especially the mint & rose ones.

 we climbed up 387 steps of Notre Dame and joined

this gargoyle for the view. did you know that

construction of the cathedral began in 1163?!

 i love how many parks there are & how accessible
they are to the public.

people just relax and chat away for hours.
my favorite is jardin de tuileries.
they even provide COMFY lounge-like chairs.

 one day, we came across a flower wall

that i camouflaged in:

versailles being fancy might be an understatement.

just hanging out in marie a's room.
