Paris, je t’aime.
While we felt one week was perhaps too long to be away from Georgie, we knew it wouldn’t be long enough for Paris. My little notebook was bursting with lists of places we wanted to visit but simply put, there was not enough time. Luckily whatever you choose to do in Paris is almost guaranteed to be perfection. We sacrificed a planned day at Versailles for a relaxed sunny Sunday soaking up Le Marais and a walk through Père Lachaise, a cemetery with over 70,000 tombs, the largest in the city of Paris. This is where you can find Jim Morrison, Maria Callas, Edith Piaf, Chopin, Oscar Wilde and hundreds of other famous names making Père Lachaise the greatest collection of dead talent in the world. I was there for Jim and this beautiful place where he is believed to be buried. Père Lachaise is capturing. A peaceful sea of tombs.
Soon after we booked our flights for Paris, I stumbled upon Airbnb. From apartments and houses to boats and treehouses, this website offers a unique living experience to add to your travels. Airbnb is a community marketplace where guests can book spaces from hosts, making it the perfect way to connect with people anywhere in the world. We were so fortunate to find Laetitia’s apartment was available because as you can see from the photos, it is absolutely stunning, dripping with vintage finds, books and tons of character. Not to mention the boulangerie located directly below the apartment filling the air with the sweet scent of warm croissants and other delights, every morning. Though this was our first Airbnb experience, I honestly recommend you give it a go. Oh and a big merci to Laetitia! Bisous!
I have a whole post in mind on occasion of our trip to Paris, just me and my man. But I am yet to recover from Paris fever and right now, more than anything, I need to spend time with my baby boy, who I ached to see everyday, so here are a few highlights of our newest travel experience. An avalanche of words should be on its way.
Paris: A photographer’s paradise.
