Strolling in Montmartre

Where: Montmartre, Paris (18th arr.)
When: November 2013

During our recent short holiday in Paris, my boyfriend and I rented a small but adaquate studio flat in Montmartre (we found the flat on Airbnb ). We loved having all the great cafés, restaurants, and shops of this historic northern Paris neighborhood right at our doorstep. And of course passing by Sacré Coeur basilica in all her glory each day was an added bonus. A must-see is the famous Place du Tertre, a square where local artists set-up-shop daily to paint and sell their wares. The square is surrounded by typical Parisienne cafés with outdoor seating for enjoying a rest and a glass of wine (hot spiced wine on this particular day) and of course for some great people watching.

40 hours in Paris

Here are some photos (in no particular order) from my recent whirlwind 40 hours in Paris with mon amie, Rebecca. To me Paris is near perfection, from the cafés and bistros to the people watching and window shopping to the overall chicness of it's entire ambiance... I just can't get enough. Lucky for me I am going back with mon copain (boyfriend) in November! I can't wait! After all don't they say Paris is the most romantic city? Let's see! Stay tuned...

 

Bisous, Rebe

Wandering the streets of Nice

Be it coincidence or fate, it surely is a small world when two New Yorkers with similar interests in fashion, travel, and wine end up living in the South of France at the same time..and we have the same name! The other Rebecca in my life right now is Rebecca Rorrer, creator of the blog Ambassador of Fashion. I look forward to our weekly rendez-vous in Nice and I even tagged along with her for a whirlwind 40 hours in Paris during Paris fashion week...more to come on that soon. Here are some photos from one of our days spent wandering the streets of Nice.

Nearly empty streets in the early morning.



Pretty pastels.

Empty tables await hungry explorers!

More pastels, I love the colors here.

Pizza and cathedrals.

Window cacti.



More window cacti!



Mon amie, Rebecca
