Paris, We have arrived!
Paris, We have arrived!
Day 1 in Paris and I just can’t hold back my excitement! Looks like I’m not alone (-;
There’s something so special about The Eiffel Tower that makes me so happy and emotional all at the same time.
Unlike London, in Paris we decide to experience the city like locals and rented an awesome little flat in the Marais. Rue Rambuteau in the 4th Arrondissement turned out to be a great little street that’s full of patisseries, cafes, markets and more. This is the view from our window…Centre Pompidou
Our fresh fruit and vegetable market
The entrance to our Parisienne apt
We arrive at our new home and it’s cute, clean and in the most perfect location but, since it’s already 8pm, there is little time to relax cause we’re in Paris and who can stay in when you’re in Paris? So, we drop off our bags and go out to grab dinner and explore our new neighborhood. We are all exhausted so we picked the first lively café we come across and it happens to be at the foot of the Centre Pompidou. It also happened to be packed with people smoking, eating and having a great time…how French!
This is what the table looked like when we sat down but while this would be totally gross and inappropriate in the States, I find it very fitting and can’t wait for more of what’s to come.
Jacob was ready to crash but stayed awake long enough for a quick dinner of foie gras, chocolat chaud and café…I have arrived and can’t wait for the morning!
