April 24Paris, i am ready!! All caught up, jet lag gone and ready to explore discover more B&Bs apartments and city secrets and new places We will be sharing all. But first things first, reacquainting myself, reigniting the affair with my neighbourhood @ Montmartre. And as routine, it starts with a very early morning walk, before the crowds or even locals are about and my eye is on the Sacre Coeur. Bliss morning moments. Paris I am ready for you!! happy day everyone.


my montmartre landmark. the point at rue lepic and rue abbesses, the point of indecision, the point i come to when i can either go left to go home or go right for another round of the hood.


 Paris day 1  - A Montmartre Montage
* when you have been to a city so many times you try to find new corners to capture...but sometimes you just cant help but go back to the classic old sights and scenes...la mounlin, la consulat cafe but we hope there are some newbies in here for you all..= Merci for following us in Paris. bisous

 fraises are in season. the brightness vibrant colors you cant resist, its more than the streets that tempt and allure you, its the fresh produce teasing you as you try to walk by... @ Rue Lepic
