Paris

• 20 April 2012



This week my friend Sara finished the Boston Marathon (no small feat as many of you know) and jumped on a plane to Paris the next day with her husband and 2 kids in tow.  Talk about working hard and playing hard, yes?  To celebrate I thought I'd collect a few helpful posts about Paris.  I know where my mind will be today...

4 hours in Paris  - what to do with limited time~

My guide to Paris -  an edited collection of non-touristy favorites~

What to pack for Paris - it doesn't matter where I'm going, I never seem to pack the right things.  I hope this post helps you avoid a similar conundrum.

Affordable hotels in Paris - hotel rooms in Paris are small and pricey; yet some are infinitely better than others.

If a trip to Paris isn't on your horizon, have fun creating your own Parisian experience at home by making authentic crêpes for dessert tonight (nutella/banana/whipped cream!), throwing a Paris-themed birthday party for your kiddo, or watching this energetic 3-minute clip.

  5. Valentine, it is a beautiful picture, isn't it? I think Emily should print a limited edition...I'd love to have one framed in my home! I think it truly captures the essence of Paris. The real Paris.

    Mary, Kayce and Heather, I totally agree with you! She is amazing. But Kayce, you should be proud of those 3 miles...I couldn't do that right now myself. That's certainly a great feat!

  6. The 3-minute clip isn't a fix for me at all! It just makes me want to go more!

    (I think I may be clinically obsessed.)

    Seriously though, great little video :) They did a great job capturing the essence of both Paris and Beynac!

  8. Jeff, I know. Once you've got the bug, it's hard to shake it. We feel the same!

    Amber, I wrote this post awhile back...maybe it will help?

    Oh and there is a little kids playroom at the Pompidou, which really came in handy!
