Le cafe creme

Monet's painting at L'Orangerie

Notre Dame

Raspberry filled croissant with almonds...one of my favorite of the many croissants. 

Luxembourg Gardens pond



We wake up every morning and go to the corner cafe for cafe creme. It's like a latte but tastes a million times better sitting in a Parisian cafe. It's so fun to sit and people watch because no European is the same, they all dress to their own drummer which is cool. Most of what they wear would never pass in America. I must say I enjoy their fashion better, we went shopping today and found some cute dresses. We went to Bon Marche with the intent of shopping only to realize that the Paris Bon Marche is very fancy--pretty much only sells designer clothing.

We haven't just been shopping though. One day we spent time at Notre Dame then relaxed at the Luxembourg gGardens(which are beautiful). We've also walked le Champs Elysées in 85 degree weather to the Arc de Triomphe. That was slightly exhausting! And have perused through l'Orangerie museum, le Louvre and le Musee d'Orsay. The musee d'Orsay was by far my favorite with the french impressionists! How cool to see Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Cezanne and more!

Were still having a blast and loving Paris. Hope back home everyone is having good
weather too :)
