Paris spring ’14 -taking it all in
Our morning photo on our balcony before the adventures begin. A love that won’t die. The love padlocks have been a phenomenon in cities all over the world.

Paris France- Le Marais & Montmartre Spring ’14
Most people associate French culture with Paris, which is a center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture, but life outside of the City of Lights is very different and varies by region. France doesn’t just have different cultures; the word “culture” actually comes from France. “‘Culture’ derives from the same French term, which in turn…
Pastry & croissant classes; Paris, France
