We love going to the Hotel du Bourg Tibourg with my boyfriend ❤️
It has this antique boudoir feeling, where you can really have a moment to yourself, without minding the busy streets of Paris. It’s also in one of our favorite neighborhoods, so there’s a couple restaurants around there we enjoy coming back to.
I think Paris is definitely at its most beautiful in the summer, but like, summer here is more August and September. We get the prettiest skies, pinkest sunsets, and the weather is mostly a delight.
But at least it’s on my left hand, and I’m not a leftie ! 😂
Life has been so hectic lately, but we finally have some good weather in Paris : welcome to Summer… we skipped Spring for you, apparently. I’m gonna try my best to tan on my balcony, and keep up with my beautiful plants, while staring into these breathtaking sunsets that we get, drinking from a nice glass of wine;
Speaking of wine, during the hot days I’m very much into having to drink between an iced tea, or latte during the daytime, which I make myself. When comes the evening though I want a good dry white wine, can be sparkling as well. I’m also loving Greek Raki, the Tsikoudia, which is made from grapes, or the Serbian Rakija, my favorite being made from apricots… it’s divine. Or even some Japanese Sake, which I usually prefer drinking warmed up.
But anyway, I’m gonna be spending this month editing lots of pictures for sale purposes : I’m saving up to buy a professional camera, and launch like a mini sustainable thing, so it can be more than just a hobby, G.od’s willing.
Wow ! I have been looking for the last 2023 photos to share on my blog 😅
I went through my camera roll, and this week’s all that is left… I don’t have any *new* content for next week basically. Thankfully, I do have a couple trips that I never edited, or shared, so I guess you’ll be getting that until I’m able to plan photoshoots : which was part of my 2024 goal.
I want to be more thoughtful with my photography projects, and come up with ideas instead of just going out and shooting whatever. I don’t know how well I can manage that, because it’ll be my first time attempting to be like, professional. I’m laughing at myself, because these past two years have been so crazy with my autoimmune diseases, and instead of being you know, more careful, I’m just going for it. Being sick has definitely made me more fierce.
I’ve come here before, but I love this little town ! First time was with my boyfriend, it was super romantic, we had a walk through the garden of roses : it’s stunning there, and so cute. Obviously had to come back with my family, because I don’t know one person amongst them who doesn’t like roses… so I had to share the spot 😊
There’s a lot of history in this place, Jeanne d’Arc came for mass, and they have knights tornaments, people dress up, etc… it can be really fun. Other than that, you’ll see from the pictures that it’s quaint and pretty for a day to hangout outside of Paris. I’m only posting the first part now, because I took too many photos. You’ll get the rest soon, xoxox
It was such a cloudy slash, rainy day in Paris ! But it wasn’t like heavy rain, it was a bit scattered, and we went for a walk with my love, and all of a sudden I see this boat across the Seine river and I’m like “do you want to go for a boat tour ?” and my boyfriend says “why not, when’s the next tour starting ?”
I’m checking the schedule and realize it’s in seven minutes 😂 and he’s telling me we’re not gonna get there, and I say “we only have that bridge to cross, we can make it… and if I can’t, run for it and hold the boat” oh my gosh… of course we ended up getting right on time, and it was beautiful and fun, and crazy of us.
Because it definitely wasn’t the right weather for it, my boyfriend was so cold, he wasn’t dressed for it. We were on the roof ! But I held him, and it was fine. Guess what, it was actually our first time doing this touristy thing here, so we learned stuff in the process… and the clouds gave us gorgeous views, and a particular light over Paris, ugh pretty ✨
