Strolling in the 1st

Photo Tour - Localers - De quelle planète es-tu? 1 The first district of Paris is such a lovely place to stroll. You can see cliché Paris views such as Le Louvre, the Tuilerie gardens and views from the Concorde all the way to the Champs Elysées. It’s somewhat the core of Paris, and boy it is fantastic.

I never cease to be amazed by the hugeness of the Louvre. If you walk from Palais Royale Musée du Louvre through the tunnel, you’ll get an intense side view of the Pyramide du Louvre and you’ll just walk straight into it’s hugeness. The contrast is stunning.

Here’s a peek at the stroll on a very very cold and gray winter day with Maëlle & Jackie:

Winter Stroll - De quelle planète es-tu?

I love strolling around in the winter. Sure, at times it’s a bit too chilly, but there is a certain charm to winter that I love admiring.

Last week, Haleigh and I went to the Caféotèque and enjoyed a warm & toasty coffee before heading out to walk through Ile de la Cité. The lighting this particular day was sublime, and was almost too good to be true, almost like a dream sequence. If I squinted a bit, the buildings were the same color as the sky.

I certainly hope for more winter days like this one. I had forgotten about the cold.

Sizzle Pop

The second round of festivities that Olivia did not know were going to exist.

Surprises are just so fun.

Well, Olivia sure was surprised by what her beau had organized! A romantic date at Au Père Tranquille turned out to be a night full of laughs with her closest pals… it was a hoot. I also just love those firecracker candle things. I couldn’t resist sharing these pictures on here with you guys. A tarte tatin with firework sizzle candles? Priceless.

Au Père Tranquille’s steak tartare sure was delicious, and they were so kind to cooperate with this surprise event that Olivia’s honey pie organized. Thumbs up!

Have you ever been surprised for your birthday? I feel like in the past I’ve sometimes been the person that gives away the surprise. I just unknowingly let it out with excitement! I’m glad that didn’t happen this time.

F is for Fête Forraine

Every year, there is a carnival at Tuileries. It’s pretty fantastic.

I remember strolling through it 4 years ago, and that gorilla is always the same! Althought I’m not good with heights we went on the swings and it was quite possibly one of the best ways I’ve viewed Paris. You should give it a try!

Merry-Go-Round

One of my favorite things about Paris is all of the old carousels. They are just so lovely and intricate. I finally for the first time went on a ride on it one stuffed Saturday, and boy was it something to remember.

It’s the simple things….
