the Marais

Each time i have a day on my hands in Paris, I will walk around the Marais & lose myself in the streets & shops & the wonderful mix of old vs new.

One of the most beautiful museums in Paris.

Its manicured gardens stood regal & silent on an empty weekday afternoon. I felt like i had stepped into a secret Eden.

The Musee Carnavalet houses collections which tell the story of the history of Paris in paintings, artefacts & pieces of furniture.

The only man besides me in the garden.

I took a walk to the Place des Vosges, whose famous residents included Victor Hugo & Cardinal Richelieu.

The arcades of the place.

My secret rooftop cafe.

And then it was aperitif time at Hotel Costes. Always wanted to go but never found the time.

We chose a table which was a little more intimate.

Cocktails amongst books & a beautiful gift.

I always make time... for peace.

The church of Saint-Eustache. The organ is so grand & amazing. I read somewhere that it's the biggest organ in France & to be honest, i'm not sure i've seen bigger ones anywhere else.

I leave you now as I need to make my own Petit Bateau shirt.

What do you want to say?

Bye bye xoxoxo
