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.

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

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.
