With less than a week until I board a plane for Paris (eeeep!) I’ve kicked my city-studying into overdrive. Attempting to refresh my basic linguistic skills, learning the layout of the city, deciding what to pack, and hunting for cool boutiques/vintage shops/cafes/museums/bars/restaurants/all that jazz has taken over my brain these past few days. There are so many interesting options in the City of Light- it’s hard to know where to begin! Since my roommate and I will be spending a good amount of time in the 11th Arrondissment, we’re looking for fun bakeries and hip bars to buy our baguettes and sip our merlots in the neighborhood of the “young bloods”. Besides hitting up the obvious tourist attractions, we’re looking to have as much of a local experience as we can, soooo if I have any Parisian readers (or frequent Paris-visitors!) I would really appreciate any and all suggestions of sites/activities not to be missed! Until next time, au revoir!

Aahwww Paris…! Fond memories :-) If you have time you should really take the train from Gare du Nord to Versailles. Something you simply cannot miss!! Also, climb up the Montmartre sometimes to visit the Sacre Coeur and enjoy the view over the city! The little square on the Montmartre is also very nice to have a bite to eat, a lot of artists doing their job, really nice atmosphere!!
so jealous Kirsten!! xx
