travel flashback: a parisian photo essay
One year ago today, the hubs and I were on our way back from one of the best travel weekends we’ve had to date: a snowy weekend in Paris. As per usual, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for a weekend of red wine and snowy cobblestoned streets, but while the wino and I prep for a few more big travel announcements in the coming weeks, I thought I’d give you a mindless break via Parisian photo essay to, you know. Just look at some pretty pictures from our trip.
Also, full disclosure: by “you,” I definitely mean myself. New York has frozen my brain, and if it has to be cold, I’d like to say, on record, that I would rather be frozen in Paris.
For one, how perfect does la tour look in this winter light?
And how beautiful are the buildings of Montmartre set against a gray sky? Psh, who even WANTS to see Paris with blue skies and warm weather?
(me, I do, moi. in all seasons.)
This man would look well less charming in shorts and a tank top, let’s be real.
QUOI? IS THAT NEIGE? Yes, just a light dusting, but OUI OUI OOUUII.
And what’s a little bit of ice without some fire to go with it?
Can’t tell what season it is here, but that’s just proof that the City of Lights sparkles in all seasons.
Gorgeous, toujours.
And that, mes amies, is a wrap on the Parisian photo essay du jour. Can someone please insist I book a return trip ASAP so I can do another? Thanks. I mean MERCI.
xo!

Beautiful shots. I am going to pin a few of these to my France Pinterest board because that board is being followed by a ton of people for some reason, and I only have two photos on it. I don’t want to disappoint my France pin crowd.

Sigh. Paris: one of my favorite places. This is just making me realize that I really need to go back and soon. I agree, I’d rather be in frozen in Paris too! Great photos. 🙂
