A Day in Paris: Part One

Monday, September 28, 2009 Sunday Suppers  

Hello all, back from a wonderful trip to Paris, and so much catching up to do. My husband and I spent 3 days in paris and the strategy was simple: eat, drink, eat a bit more. For those of you who have met ken at a sunday supper, you know he is so sweet and charming (if I do say so myself) ; he is also the perfect travel mate. We were not going to attempt the tourist sites, just dally around the streets, take in the gorgeous atmosphere, and see where our little feet took us. Every morning we had a delightful breakfast at Carette in Trocadero Square. The parisian breakfast consisted of croissants and pastries, the most divine scrambled eggs we’d ever had…and one too many cappuccinos. We strolled around paris, cafe & pastry hopping along the way. We bought macaroons and treats at Gerard Mulot. The thing about paris is that everything is just gorgeous, you really can’t go wrong. We enjoyed every little bit: riding the metro, taking afternoon breaks at a local cafe, discovering quiet streets in the evening hours and feeling like paris was all ours. Walking along the Seine and down to the Pantheon at night. A perfect day in Paris.

The next day we payed a visit to the most perfect store (ever)…stay tuned- k.

    What a great photo timeline, beautiful shots.
    Am studying in France at the moment and am heading to Paris this weekend, so will definitely stop in at the places you visited – the macaroons at Gerard Mulot sound lovely!

    Thank you all for your comments ! Daniella, the camera I use is a canon 5d- my absolute favorite for weddings & food, pair it with a pro lens, it’s worth the investment- hope that helps !
