It’s all in the details

Paris is the city of lights and of love, but I’m going to give it one more title – the city of detail. Ornate detail finds its way into the everyday – in architecture, displays, signs and even food.

Salut Paris

20130308-233636.jpg

Though it’s technically my third time visiting the city of light, this is the first time I’ve felt like I’m truly experiencing the culture of the city. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen all of the major touristy sights and this time can just be, or maybe it’s because we’re renting an apartment as opposed to hostelling, but one day in and I’m already noticing a difference.

Today’s pic is a little collage of some of the great stuff I saw today: our super cute airbnb apartment in Le Marais, a local resto we passed while exploring the city (that to me is exactly what a restaurant in Paris should look like) and part of a window display from an adorable shop where I bought an equally adorable ring.

A bientot!
