Only good thing about freezing winter Paris: the Christmas Market! On the Champs Elysees beginning at the Place de la Concorde there is a huge Christmas Market every year in Paris, as is the case elsewhere throughout the city, with vin chaud (warm, sweet wine), Nutella beignets (a warm melt-in-your mouth donut filled with Nutella) and gauffres (like a big warm waffle) to taste!
L'Arc du Triomphe
Visiting the Musee d'Orsay is one of my favorites...this was a building block up to the Louvre. A friend told me that if you were to look at each piece at the Louvre for 30 seconds you would be there for 3 months...ughhhhh
An evening in Bercy Village! I had never been here before but it is super cute and kind of off the beaten path. There are rows of cute shops and cafes.
Bercy Village Park: just to illustrate how cold it was/is. I look freezing period, but I saw some kids playing on the ice in the frozen fountains. It was sss-s-s-s-so bbbb-b-b-beautiful. (that's my teeth chattering fyi)
I LOVE that last picture of the ice with leaves! I think Granny should paint it! ...what do you think??? ;) Great pics! Looks like an amazing time! Love you and miss you! Call me this weekend!
