I’ve written a lot of posts about traveling to France, especially Paris. Having been there more than a handful of times, Paris continues to be a city that I love dearly. These days I feel more comfortable than ever there, traversing the neighborhoods I love, practicing my French language skills, and really immersing myself like […]
Paris is always a good idea…even in the rain. Because let’s just all agree that a rainy day in Paris is still better than a sunny day in a lot of places. 😉 Although we have been to Paris a few times before, this trip was extra special because we got to bring our little […]
Part of the fun of traveling to a big city like Paris for a week is using it as a home base for day trips to other parts of France. With an easy to navigate train system, you have the opportunity to experience so much more than you otherwise would have. We decided to visit […]
Touring Paris in a vintage Citroën was by far one of the best tours we’ve ever done! Aside from the occasional Uber, we had never seen the city from a car. We are used to taking the metro and walking everywhere, but when you have the chance to see Paris from a convertible car, where […]
Is there anything better than Paris in the summer? Ok, maybe Paris in the winter (read my Paris winter travel guide here). Or maybe in the spring? Honestly, I don’t care what time of year it is. Audrey Hepburn was right…Paris is always a good idea! In my previous post, I shared my Paris summer […]
Hi, friends! Hopefully you’ve been following along with me on Instagram over the past week or so, and if you did, then you know we just spent a glorious week+ in Paris! This was a trip that came together faster than any of our previous trips to Europe. Once France opened up to vaccinated Americans, […]
I’m excited to be moving forward with volume 2 of my new series, Fashion + Food + Film. To catch you up, be sure to read the premiere post of how this series concept started here! This time, I’m delving into one of my favorite modern films, Midnight in Paris, and reviewing a bit of […]
If I had a dollar for every time someone has told me they don’t want to go to Paris (or France, really) because they don’t like French food or they think the service will be terrible, I could probably afford that lovely little Parisian pied-à-terre I’ve always dreamed of. I’d like to dedicate this post […]
Before launching into my 15 instagrammable spots in Paris, I’d like to start with a few photography guide rules. I love taking pictures and finding the best spots for that one epic photo. Pictures capture memories and if you love photography, there’s nothing better than looking back on a photo and remembering what it felt […]
Welcome to my Eat+Stay+Play travel guide for Paris! I’m really excited to bring you this travel guide because although we’ve been to Paris before, we had never been in winter right before Christmas. Paris is magical in winter and I’m happy to share all the fun things we found to do. If you follow me […]
Paris is my favorite European city and I’m so happy to be returning for a third time. The Seine, those baguettes, French wine, ooh la la…(I’ve never heard an actual French person say ooh la la, by the way). I find inspiration in all things Parisian, but one thing I’m always studying is what Parisian […]
When it comes to traveling in Europe, I have a lot on my bucket list. Spending two whole weeks in a Tuscan villa was one of them. Last summer we were able to spend a couple weeks in Provence and it was magical to say the least, so we wanted to recreate that feeling this […]
It’s about time! After 2+ years of living in Amsterdam and numerous requests for recommendations from friends, family, colleagues and followers I’ve finally put together a working guide for Amsterdam. I’ve wanted to put this guide together for a while but it takes time to feel comfortable and familiar with your new city, exploring restaurants, […]
On a recent trip to London we made a weekend getaway to Bath and had the best time. We’ve been to London so much but really wanted to get out of the city and explore more of England. Everyone we spoke with told us how beautiful Bath is and how we would just love it, […]
I have always wanted to go to Lake Como, Italy. Sipping bright orange Aperol spritz over its glittering green waters while basking in the Italian sunshine is the epitome of dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing. Lake Como, or Lago di Como in Italian, is a very popular travel destination and it’s […]
As part of our recent tour of the Scottish Highlands, we spent Easter weekend in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital. As far as cities go, Edinburgh is definitely now one of my favorites. With so much to offer, it made sense to put together a little weekend travel guide. So many of you reached […]
Scotland has been on our travel bucket list for quite some time and this year we made it happen. We spent Easter weekend in Edinburgh, including two days devoted to touring the Scottish Highlands. While I loved everything about the entire weekend, I especially loved the tours we booked with Discreet Scotland. If you’ve been […]
Well, here we are. Another year behind us, another one in front of us. Happy New Year, friends! I feel like it’s ok to keep saying that through the end of January. For a month that is basically the Monday of all the months, wishing someone a Happy New Year makes it feel at least […]
I love the lesser known French Riviera cities. While Nice and Cannes have a certain caché, it’s the smaller destinations that have my heart. While visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, we also explored Èze and Beaulieu-sur-Mer. I admit that Beaulieu really wasn’t on my radar, but I’m so glad we decided to check it out. We had no […]
One of the best parts of visiting the French Riviera are all the beautiful little towns you can travel to in a single day. On our recent trip to Villefranche-sur-Mer, we spent an enchanting day in Èze, a magical medieval town perched high atop a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Located between St Jean Cap […]
