Chocolates were first introduced to the court of

Chocolates were first introduced to the court of Versailles by King Louis XIV. During the mid-1700s, the first chocolateries popped up over Paris, and today chocolates are one of the most popular souvenirs for anyone visiting Paris to shop for. This particular shop is one of the oldest in France.
Though not a complete fan, I do enjoy chocolates with salted caramel and pistachio flavours . What’s your fav flavours?

Afterglow: A spring sunset in Paris 🫠.

Nothing feels as good as ending the day with sun-kissed shoulders and a cool breeze, after a long cold winter.

Hope you get to enjoy some sun, good conversations, and delicious foods this weekend. Also, sunscreen people 🧴. Don’t forget the sunscreen.

Have a good one, and see you in my IG Stories as usual🙋🏽‍♀️.

Stop to smell the roses in Paris!!
This is one of my fav places to go for enjoying cherry blossoms as well as a blooming roses unlike any other in the city.
The tiny garden close to Place Bastille is a true hidden gem, and perfect for a picnic with friends or to just spend a lazy evening just day-dreaming.
📍Port de l’Arsenal 11 Boulevard de Bastille, Paris 75012

ps: it should be ‘2/10 things to do in spring’ but apparently i don’t double check my reels for typos 😂

L'ombre d'un arbre et le soleil d’ore 🌳☀️

L'ombre d'un arbre et le soleil d’ore 🌳☀️. Couldn’t focus on anything but the shadow of the tree, its existence an invitation to imagine what its delicate branches might actually look like.
What’s the loveliest lights without the shadows its casts! And this was a particularly glorious golden hour in Paris.
Hope you’re having an awesome Sunday.

📍Île de la Cité

Looking for a quiet place to read or just soak in

Looking for a quiet place to read or just soak in some sun ☀️ 📖this weekend?

Head down to the edge of île Saint-Louis, and on to the tiny triangle at the very end of the this teeny island: Square Barye.

Named after sculpture Antoine-Louis Barye, this tiny triangle offers splendid views of the Seine, while being leafy, and calm, with plenty of yew, cedar and acacias trees to satiate our nature-starved hearts 🍃🌳.

📍Square Barye
2, boulevard Henri-IV, Paris 4e

This French secret is in Chartres, a super day-trip from Paris.
Maison Picassiette literally translates to the house of the plate thief, the name playfully attributed to it because of the creator’s penchant for reusing broken crockery.
This house and now-museum was the brainchild of mad genius, Raymond Isidore, who built this piece of art between 1938-1962. News of this crazy art project spread across France and even Picasso visited this hidden gem in 1954.
Isidore’s day job was a grave sweeper at the cemetery, and his creations are inspired by his relationship to religion, with images of Christian symbols and characters, animals and cathedrals, including the nearby cathedral of Chartres.

📍22 Rue des Repost, Chartres 28000

Ive been away from Paris for 2 week, and although I am very happy with the break, I have started feeling a tad bit homesick. I miss my husband, our home, and my neighbourhood.
In that spirit, here’s a photo of one of my most oft-frequented places. If you follow my IG stories, you know how often i post from here 😂.
These photos was taken in the middle of April, when we had some beautiful sunny days. Hope you like it.

Cité Florale is a hidden gem in Paris with quain

Cité Florale is a hidden gem in Paris with quaint small streets and cul-de-sacs, with houses and apartments arranged around small gardens and green spaces.

Located in the 13th arrondissement, many of the buildings here are in the Art Deco style, with intricate details and colorful facades, many of them covered with blooming vines.

This place is well worth a visit for anyone interested in architecture, urban nature or simply seeking a quiet escape from the city.

Wander through the narrow streets, admire the architecture, stop to smell the flowers, but do not be noisy, pesky or intrusive: these are home of real people. So being respectful of their privacy should be a prerogative.

📍Cité Florale
Enter from rues Boussingault, Brillat-Savarin et Auguste Lançon - 75013 Paris

The Theory of Catastrophes believes that natural h

The Theory of Catastrophes believes that natural history has been intermittently punctuated by catastrophes that altered natural life on earth 🌏.

One of the chief architects of this school of catastrophism was Georges Cuvier, remarkable scholar, naturalist and founding father of paléontologie 🦕 🦖 in France. It is in his honour that this street in Paris is called Rue Cuvier and the fountain here is also built to pay homage to him.

The fountain represents natural history with motifs of marine and amphibious animals. The tablet contains a Latin verse by Virgil, that Cuvier lived by : rerum cognoscere causas 🔎. It translates to something like ‘Happy is he who can know the causes of things.’

I love this street btw. Will write some other time about my saunters here. For now, Ill hope you enjoyed this teeny paragraph about Monsieur Cuvier. Have a great rest of your week! See ya in my stories 🙂

📍Rue Cuvier, Paris 75005

Living in colours at Place Dauphine. Find a story

Living in colours at Place Dauphine. Find a story invoking royalty, food and aquatic mammals below 👇🏾
‘Dauphine’ refers to crown prince. In case of Place Dauphine , its named in honour of then crown-prince and future King Louis XIII).
Dauphine actually means dolphin in French 🐬. Its use in royalty-lingo comes from Count Guigues IV of Albon (c. 1095–1142), who bore a dolphin on his coat of arms and was nicknamed le Dauphin (French for dolphin). And the name stuck through generations.
You would thus see the word ‘dauphine’ aka crown prince pop up in France, (a country formerly ruled by monarchy), in various arenas, including food☺️. One example I want to mention here is one of my fav French dishes: gratin dauphinois or dauphinois potato. Technically its named after the region Dauphine but that itself is named after the crown prince, so point still stands 🤓. This dish consists of thinly sliced potatoes baked in milk/cream and for me, its one of the most sophisticated and delicious potato dishes. Regal indeed 👸🏽

If you made it till the end, hope you enjoyed the story and I wish you the bestest Sunday ahead ☺️.
