    1. Less rain would have been nice, but it didn't slow us down much!

  2. Did you see and eat all of that?! If so, it sounds like a super fast-paced trip! Glad you're back with lovely memories.

  3. Ha. Yes, it sounds fast paced, but we always build in time for lunch, dinner and a bit of hanging out. Paris is a pretty easy city to navigate, and walking always allows us to see so much. Pre-planning is key--that and buying the Paris Museum Pass ahead of time so we never stood in lines.

  4. Ah ha, la la your timing is perfect as I am planning a trip to Paris in Feb. I was last there when I was 22. You seem to have covered all the most scrumptious aspects of this stupendous city.

    1. I was there in Feb 2011. It was chilly, but this made it low key, not as many tourists. Have fun!
