If you follow me on social media, you know I was recently on a trip to Paris. It was amazing! Such a fun, beautiful, bustling city. We rented an amazing Airbnb apartment. The building was built in the 17th century and was in Les Marais (which I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an area to stay). We did some touristy stuff (museums, eiffel tower, etc.) but my favorite part was just walking around the city…looking in store windows, sitting at cafΓ©s sipping coffee, strolling through open air markets. We also did a day trip to Normandy which I really enjoyed. We toured some historical WWII sites, and the countryside is beautiful. Here are some photos from our amazing trip.

11/7/16 at 3:32 pmSounds like an incredible trip! And WOW your Airbnb is gorgeous! What a place to call home while in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Your photos really capture its charm. I love the little details like the flowers for sale, the building covered in plant life, and the narrow little streets. Was that photo taken in Le Marais as well? What a pretty little area.
Normandy sounds like a treat as well. I have not been yet but hope to do so one day!
