Paris Jaunt

Two weeks ago I flew up to Paris to meet some family friends for a few days. We stayed near Place D'Italie and just generally enjoyed catching up, good food and great wine. We did squeeze in a bit of sightseeing - the Louvre, Versailles and of course some well-spent time browsing the shops.


We had many fantastic meals, but our meal on the night I arrived was something else altogether.
Behold:



Mouth-watering beef, complete with marrow, bones, creamy mashed potatoes and a delicious bordeaux.



Spent the day at Versailles. Some luxury decorating business going on there. Marie Antoinette certainly had a thing for floral.


One of my most favourite things to do in Paris is stroll through the Marais district - on Sundays much of it is closed off to traffic, and people are out enjoying brunch or a browse through the vintage stores. Speaking of which, I found an amazing silk scarf for 3 euros which I will have to post up.

Happy Easter to Everyone!
