In all my years and all my travels, never have I been to a more ridiculously magical locale than Paris, France. My sweetheart and I recently spent a far-too-short week strolling the boulevards, sitting at sidewalk cafes, eating croissants, and eating more croissants. We really, truly, did not want to leave. I'm here to tell you, all of the bologna about the French being snobs and hating Americans is 100% false, and all the hype about Paris being the most amazing city in the world- C'EST VRAI! (It's true!)

We stayed in an adorable tiny studio apartment at the end of this cute courtyard. We found it through Sabbatical Homes and had a really great experience. I highly reccomend it for all your travels. We felt like real Parisians, and it was several hundred euros cheaper than a hotel.

Hey look! I'm at the top of the Eiffel Tower!


Every morning, we walked down to the bakery on the corner to buy fresh croissants. We took them back to the apartment and made an amazing breakfast with eggs, avocado, and the creamiest most delicious goat cheese of all time. Then, we'd walk to Les Anemones Cafe for a cafe au lait. I could do that everyday for the rest of my life!


We spent hours at the Pere Lachaise cemetary, where hundreds of Paris's best and brightest are buried, along with Jim Morrison. It's so beautiful and enormous, we almost forgot we were surrounded by thousands of dead people.


We went to Monmarte and visited the Sacre Coeur, which which was as breathtaking as it's view. Unfortunately, Monmarte is kind of seedy and it was getting cold, so we didn't stay to see the view at night.

The Louve was so incredibly gorgeous and majestic. We ended up spending so long just marveling at the building and the gardens that by the time we went inside, the museum was closing! Oops.

We truly had the time of our lives in Paris. We had so much fun just walking around the neighborhoods, shopping, eating, and looking at each other and saying, "I can't believe we're in Paris!" We will most definitely be going back. I miss it already. Paris, je t'aime!
