Well we have arrived in the chilly and utterly romantic, wine drinking, coffee sipping, fur coat snuggling, fire crackling, wintery Paris...and oh what atmosphere. Christmas festivities still about in early to mid January, vin chaud (hot wine) stands beckoning, creperies with their tempting buttery nutella dripping, the amazing light decorations hanging about the streets, the colourful Christmas markets full of cheer ... the City of light and love is alive with more lights and more love than ever, as families and couples flood the cobblestoned streets ... who cares about the cold drizzle, in fact it only adds to the broody mysterious and rich atmosphere. Honestly, only Paris could be this beautiful this grey...
So each week (or 2...I may be having too much fun to post on time...) I will blog photos and small little ramblings about the week(s) that was... for nothing other than a bit of Paris fun and inspiration for you all. And of course to share our new secret, favourite and fabulous places... we're on a mission to explore Paris inside out, upside down and back to front... all will be posted and all will be added to our Bible - the Petite Paris City Guide eBook - our resource for the world of travellers revealing all the best-of-the best in Paris. Too much fun... See/Buy the eguide Book here: http://www.petiteparis.com.au/City_Guide_eBook.html )
Ok so back to the week that was...from the day we arrived, scrolling down to the more recent events... Enjoy mes amis x
