dans paris

I didn't delve any further into that trip I took to Paris at the end of January, did I? I think I'll show you the snaps then.


Upon my arrival Joanna had prepared a lovely pasta dinner.
Afterwards I unpacked my map of the United States and we finalised some destinations for our trip.

The flat, owned by Joanna's family was typically Parisian in that slightly outdated yet cosy and full of interesting trinkets and crockery kind of way.

Jim Morrisson's grave.

Our eveningly ritual.

View from the flat window. You can't see it here but the peak of Sacre Coeur was also visible.

The famous Galerie des Glaces at Versailles.

It was beautifully sunny when we arrived.

But it turned bleak as we explored the grounds and The Hameau de la Reine

we met some french guys at a bar in the latin quarter and they wrote naughty phrases in my guidebook.

Joanna at the vintage store 'Come on Eileen' which we found to be most overpriced and disappointing.

  5. I loved going to Versailles. And, I especially loved just standing in Marie Antoinette's room. Lucky you, french guys at a bar!

  9. I went to Paris for my 21st last May - I have never felt quite as at home as I did when I walked through that beautiful city.

    Love the pictures. Sucks about the vintage shop!

  14. I love the fact that you used film instead of digital. Fantastic photos, makes me feel all nostalgic for some reason, which is strange considering I've never even been to Paris.

  15. great photos
    when you come to the U.S. you should definitely go to Washington, D.C.
    there's a lot of great tourist-y stuff
    but there are also great restaurants,music venues,and places to shop
    though i recommend hitting surrounding suburbs for great thrift shops-which is easily reachable by the metro
    let me know if you visit&if you want to know where to go or need a personal guide
