Peace & Love Paris

So I was in Paris over the weekend for Pitchfork, for the fourth time in my life. Weirdly enough I don't even like Paris that much but it's always a convenient and comforting place to visit. Every time I go to Paris I do the exact same things:

1. Spend at least an hour sunbathing around the fountains in Jardin de Tuileries
2. Visit Rue Saint-Honoré
3. Consume unhealthy numbers of croissants

Eating is a big part of Paris for me... I don't love the city half as much as its restaurants. Paris still isn't that great a place for eating, but I've visited a ton of great restaurants in Paris. I love love love these in particular: Les Cocottes de Constant, Le Fumoir (sunday brunch) and newest discovery Derrière


Anyway straight to photos!!!

PARIS REDUX







GOOD TIMES

Funny how I missed another Eurostar train again which ended up with us reaching Paris at about 7am and staying there for 2 days. Still it was wonderful stomping around Rue St Honore and Le Marais with my lovely sisters. Paris is so lovely in Spring when the days are just starting to get longer.

The funniest thing happened on our last night when we were waiting for our train. A nice Rastafarian black gentleman bet 200 euros that we were selling weed but sadly we were not. I suppose there are a lot of Asian girl drug dealers in Paris...? Must have been the unicorn shirt.

PARIS DAY 4: VERSAILLES










It was such a wonderful day until we missed our Eurostar train back to London and had to spend the night in a cheap hotel in Gare du Nord. Should have taken some photos there for memories.. it was the strangest room, the kind you'd expect people to write horror stories about.
