Sunday Morning Stroll in the 10eme
The weather couldn’t be more gorgeous than it was this Sunday morning – the smiling sun above coupled with the gentle caress of a balmy breeze kind of beautiful. Well, long surrealistic story short – this made for a morning walk around the “10eme’ the 10th arrondissement, quite possibly the sweetest, most beautiful Sunday morning…
Le Havre
Cold, atlantic ocean air, sea gulls, muscled Norman men, pretty girls – it’s a sweet calm spot away from Paris. These are images taken around a ship dock turned into a shopping mall in Le Havre…
Horse Riding, Getaway to Countryside France
Beyond Paris are goregeous country side scenes to be taken in and vast expanses to inspire. These are images taken from an equestrian club in Normandy. Loved this place!!
Sunday night walk
The “Sunday Night Walk” is a worthy institution to preserve while in Paris: solitary cobbled streets, the muted buzz of renegade commercial establishments that break the commandment of keeping the Parisian Sabbath holy all make each foot bound, late Sunday night walk delicious and distinctly fabulous!

This is particularly true when one gets to walk…
ooh Heaven is a place on earth
47 Avenue Foch – Parc Moulin Brule: this is where I have been trying to run of kilograms added from a season of ‘eating for exams’: but it also serves as a gorgeous place to take a romantic stroll – it is also relatively far from regular tourist haunts. This is a hazy image of…
Midnight in Paris
After a month of academic year- end craziness – examinations, final papers, presentations, workshops – and very little time to actually experience Paris herself, I am glad to be finally free to explore more of this gorgeous, beautiful city!
