Back from my winter break

Back from my winter break

Took an unannounced break !…

Several reasons to that, main one being I’m not doing my best during winter time as I have rheumatoid arthritis, so my joints don’t appreciate the added cold on top of everything else. Since I’m not going out much, I don’t really have any content to share.

I’ve finished sharing with you all my past Greece vacay pictures, so I basically need new travels or hangouts to update The Blog. With spring coming, it definitely will be easier for me to get out and do that !

In the meantime, here’s a short recap of my past few months (mostly January & February) xoxox

Colorful buildings to warm the heart, and sunny days that lasts the year.

Grasse must be one of the prettiest little towns you can find in the South of France !

It is so colorful, with all the old buildings, and there’s perfume everywhere… of course since it’s the city of perfume ! Umbrellas follow wherever you go, cute cafés a daring sun that just won’t quit. Everything that I love. Cote d’Azur is a total dream, you shouldn’t hesitate to spend a few days here ☀️

Nothing says “holiday escape” more than a golden French Riviera tan, and a vibrant cocktail !

I have separated my Cannes pictures in three posts, that you’ll all see this week ! Other cities coming right up next…

I have loved staying here, it’s such a cute little city, there’s so much buzz because of the different conventions happening, and of course the Festival each year. So it’s quite exciting to be there ! It definitely boosted my energy levels. I mean this is one of the sunniest cities in France, and you can basically swim from May to the end of September, without a second thought, and if you’re brave even after that… I swam in October, and for me the water was perfect. It was as I said “invigorating” : I’ve really been into colder water since listening to what Wim Hof has to say about it. Beautiful times !

Nothing nourishes the soul more than a trip to the South of France

Nothing nourishes the soul more than a trip to the South of France.

What a beautiful trip to the South of France I had ! My boyfriend surprised me with a visit to Cannes, on the French Riviera… oh my gosh, I was so excited. I’ve dreamed of going there for years : and I live in Paris, so it’s not like that complicated to get there, yet I never got to it.

For Sichuan cuisine, come to Trantranzai !

For Sichuan cuisine, come to Trantranzai !

What a change of scene !

This restaurant is a fave of my boyfriend, he loves noodle soup made with that special Sichuan pepper. Sichuan pepper has an incredible taste. He loves it so much we even bought some to use in our homemade Asians dishes. If you don’t know what it is, don’t be a fool and try it out 😂

So Trantranzai (that’s the name of the place), is quite famous in Paris. Not only is the decor kinda cool; you feel like you’re in a little joint in the middle of nowhere-China. But also the food is good !

I don’t know what they do to their noodles, but they’re always delicious. It’s a fun experience to be there, you can also choose how spicy you want your food to be (my boyfriend goes for 4, while I’m not that adventurous… I take 0 🤣). The only thing I’m not a fan of, food-wise, are the desserts. They’re a bit bland. I’m also not a fan of bubble tea, it’s too sweet for me.

Rating for this restaurant is 6/10
I can’t grade them better because last time they forgot half our order, the soups are also usually too salty. And also you have to tell them to watch their fingers, otherwise they don’t and it’s so unsanitary.
