Today is a very special day! This is the day I wrap up my Paris posts. It’s also Tim and my two-year wedding anniversary, but I will spare you all by leaving the sap out of this post.

Dinner at Les Papilles was our favorite meal of the trip. I’d read all about the mandatory prix fixe dinner from “the chocolate guy” and had decided we will eat there while in Paris. I was psyched once the decision was made, but then I realized we needed a reservation. I speak zero French. What did I do?

We dined at Bouillon Racine on our last night in Paris. The decor is absolutely gorgeous, but you will have to take my word for it since I only took photos of our dinner.

Next to family, breakfast is the most important thing. For all the walking Tim and I did, it was important to start our day right with a Parisian breakfast. While staying in the Montmartre area, we started our days with a cup of café crème* and either a pain au chocolat or a croissant. They were perfect; those flaky, buttery layers of pastry. I woke up every morning looking forward to the croissants.

J’aime Paris. My visit has come and gone, all too quickly. I am so very thankful for the opportunity Tim and I had to experience Paris this winter. Our senses were saturated while we walked the city, we grew as a couple as we learned more about each other, and I’ve returned so inspired. Inspired by the meals we ate, the beauty we saw, by everything… people told me I’d love Paris, but I didn’t think I’d be this hooked.
