After two weeks visiting our London office, I nipped away with my family to Paris for the weekend. Paris with two 16 month-olds felt a little daunting at first, but everything turned out beautifully (with the exception of a couple delicious meals that arrived too slowly for a toddler's taste, so were hastily wolfed down!).
First stop: La Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature. My husband, J., was skeptical given my known obsession with taxidermy, but it proved to be creative, gorgeous, and amusing!
Strolling around the Marais, we spotted gorgeous fresh flowers from a street vendor...
... some fab outfits...
...a French book titled Madmen: Un Art de Vivre
Vintage photography shop Images & Portraits
Gorgeous bead shop Tout a Loisirs...
ie boutique - colorful Indo-European children's clothes and decor created by a Japanese stylist and a French-Nepalese architect.
The best part was just to "faire une promenade" around the streets (and boutiques!) of Paris. The evening's dinner (sans petits) was at Le Train Bleu at Gare du Lyon - a gorgeous beaux-arts interior serving traditional French cuisine. A lovely start to the weekend!
