    Ahhh, that’s brought back some beautiful memories. I’m going to have to go to Hermes next time and buy some flowers! xx

    I love every inch of Paris, when I am there I feel liquid… especially strolling through the flower and bird market “Le Marché aux Fleurs and Le Marché aux Oiseaux” and eating almond pastries on a late Sunday morning… sublime.

      I wasn’t allowed to fly for so many months for health reasons, so I’m loving being able to travel again (and making the most of it). Next up: Edinburgh! So glad you love reading about it :)

    My husband and I make an annual visit to Paris. It’s our one big indulgence, as we leave the children with their grandparents for a whole week and spend the whole time just immersing ourselves in our favourite city. So I have many happy memories, some of which you’ve shared here! I especially love visiting the food markets, finding the perfect steak-frites and sitting in a cafe for hours just watching the city unfold in front of me – and a little time spent shopping (at Longchamp, Chanel, Bon Marche) or gazing over a favourite painting or sculpture at Musee D’Orsay or in the garden at the Rodin museum is always lovely too.
    Hmm, now I’m going to drift off to Paris in my mind all day today – thank you for bringing back all these memories :)

    I love Paris. I agree – just over 2hrs vs 33 from back home. I have French in-laws now, so I get to go all the time and it never loses its allure.

    Being a writer, I love Shakespeare & Co too. I used to fantasise about escaping across the Channel, sleeping on the benches upstairs, sweeping the floors, recommending books and writing by day.

    Saint Germain is my favourite area. I always have lunch in Le Relais de l’Entrecote. I know they have a franchise (shudder) in London now (and Dubai Mall, I learnt with a cringe when I used to live there), but it’s the first place I ate lunch when I first visited the city more than ten years ago. I’m nothing if not a sentimentalist.

    Thanks for the post. It was a lovely way to start my day.

    aaah….. Lovin the pics. I had a movie night in last night with a friend and we watched Before Sunset. I swear am not sure did I melt more from the romance of the film or the beauty of Paris (and the coolest Shakespeare &Co wast there off course). :-) ))

    I love Paris. Your posts have made me soooo nostalgic. I only went for the very first time about two years ago but have been three times in the past two years! But not for nearly 11 months now… I think another trip is in order – SOON!!

    Your photos are really lovely :) xx

    Oh Briony, what a lovely post! I usually don’t miss Paris too much but when I see pictures and musings about the city like yours I really look forward to going back home. The Left Bank is very dear to my heart as I lived there as a student; I would definitely settle in the 6th / 7th arrondissement or the Montparnasse area in a heartbeat.

    These pictures are so cute. The last time I visited Paris with a friend of mine, we stayed at St Germain, which I loved for all the lovely bars and coffee shops. You know, we didn’t stray much further than that area but we had a great time. Although I am spoilt with travels around America right now, I do miss hopping around Europe.
