Watching all these isolation birthdays roll out on insta makes me truly appreciate the fact that I woke up in Paris on our B'day (ours as me and hubby have the same birthday).
We took a road trip in Jan/Feb earlier this year to France. Little did we know it would be the only adventures we would probably have this year!
True to British form, I'm keeping calm and carrying on with the post I had planned.
We may not be able to travel right now but this lockdown isn't forever so here is a little inspo for your future Paris adventures. Following up on my Montmartre post (see article here), take a glimpse at where we wandered to (obviously a fair bit of Dior to follow) and the beautiful hotel we stayed in.
Aim high: bus stop dreams, ever so discreetly edited . . . No wait . . . Enhanced!
The view from our balcony at hotel La Demeure, more info on the hotel below.
When researching hotels, I was completely obsessed with finding somewhere that had that iconic Parisian balcony look. Both to have included in our own hotel room and surrounding architecture. Bit OTT planning wise?! These small details matter to me ha ha!
I was thrilled with the Parisian balcony results!
For cocktails and snacks - Le Saint Medard - Delicious!
Our birthday morning, we brought all our cards and prezzies with us to open. When you drive to Paris it's a bit dangerous, I brought my entire wardrobe! Most of my handbags live in the boxes they came with when I bought them, so they were chucked in the car too! Don't get me started on the shoe boxes that were packed . . .
A little gem! We loved it. The spa facilities were a particular treat after a day of exploring the streets of Paris. Located in the 13th arrondissement, it wasn't too far from a hub of restaurants and bars. As the weather was absolutely gorgeous while we visited the city, we walked from the hotel to Avenue Montaigne where Dior is situated. It took around an hour but we were constantly stopping for hot chocs, macarons & wine; basically a walking tourist cliché!
