Flâneur Friday: Spring Blooms

S

Alright, so technically these pictures are more than a month old, but life got busy, and I never got a chance to post them. So I figured what better day for a belated post than our last Friday in Paris! A little cheer on this sad day for me!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite season in Paris because they are all beautiful in their own right, but I think spring might just make the top of the list. The blooms and sunshine just put everyone in a good mood, and I never want to forget this magical season in Paris.

Flâneur Friday: A Long Walk through the City

This week, again, continued with glorious spring weather. It actually was a bit summer-like for a few days with sun and temps near 80! So, when I had an AWG event in the Marais, I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and walk there. It was a long one: an hour and half, but it sure didn't seem like that as I was taking in all the beauty this city has to offer!

Flâneur Friday: A Stroll Through Tuileries & Palais Royal

These were taken a few weeks ago {back when the weather felt like spring, not rainy winter again!} on a lovely stroll through Tuileries and Palais Royal. I wished I had brought a real camera, rather than just my iPhone, but there's always next time!

Flâneur Friday: A Croissant Taste Test

My Velib Vendredis have become pretty much non-existent for two reasons: 1. The weather hasn't been very nice 2. I'm less apt to bike half way across the city now that I'm pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I still bike between places I'm familiar with in my area, but I'm not so eager to wander aimlessly on a bike anymore. I have, however, been walking a lot more. Spring weather is starting to peek through, and I'm trying to get at least 30-40 minutes of walking in a day on the days I don't run. Hence, Flâneur Friday: pictures from one of my walks during the week. Flâneur is the French word for strolling about aimlessly, without a destination in mind. We don't really have an exact translation for this in English, which is a bit of why I love it.
