I should start by saying, I’ve traveled to Paris previously. But each time I visit, the beauty of the city overwhelms me. I mean, everywhere you look there is stunning architecture. Literally. Everywhere.

This time I went as a bit of pre-celebration for my 30th birthday which I was to celebrate in Iceland (a post for another day) and the visit did not disappoint. We shopped, we dined (Jardin des Pâtes, Le Petit Casimir, Ladurée, Télescope, L’Avant Comptoir – Get to all of these if you can), we walked – like 15 miles in one single day, no joke. And somehow, I could still go back and see and do and photograph….probably until the end of time.

And so, I have for you below, just a small snippet of autumn in Paris. The beauty and the romance and the ambiance of the city make it quite easy to understand why so many come, fall in love, and never leave.
