One of the side effects of the lockdown here in France is that I have lots of time to go through some vacation photos that I’ve been meaning to post for a while. These ones are from when I went to Prague last spring with my family. I’ve been to Prague two times and I […]Read Post ›
Since all of France has been under ‘confinement’ (basically lockdown) for the past week and will be for the foreseeable future, I thought I’d share some pictures that I took this autumn at the Musée Rodin.
Every year, around the midpoint of summer, when the city is at its most hot and humid point, most Parisians pack their bags and head away on vacation for a few weeks. I was lucky enough to sneak out of the city for a long weekend to Amsterdam with my family and boyfriend and enjoy […]Read Post ›
Hello! I hope your summer has gotten off to a good start. Mine has, I’ve been loving the sunshine now that we have a big fan to get a bit of breeze in the apartment. The past weekend was a big one in Paris – it was the fête nationale on Saturday and then France […]Read Post ›

I think the little side streets in Montmartre are so charming and once you get away from the crowds directly around the basilica it can be really peaceful. The […]Read Post ›
