florenceandthemakeup Paris is one of my favourite cities to visit. I love the whole experience every time I visit. (My husband works for a French Bank so we visit often) The food is always wonderful. The people have always been warm, friendly and welcoming. One food I _need_ to try is the huge cheese wheel that I once saw being melted at the table. Paris is perfect. 😘😘😘

Wonder how they add lemon - directly or do they make a curd...hmmm... Definitely will be trying that next though, as eclairs and lemon meringue pie are my two favourite things to bake! Though I’ll never pretend my eclairs look even half professional, let alone anything these works of art! :D

Went to Sacré-Cœur with my family but it was super late afterwards. There’s the path way up with all the shops and bakeries and such. We were hungry for dinner but everything seemed closed. I peeked down one of the many alley ways and near the end there was a small neon sign. Went to see if it was somewhere to eat. Ended up being one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
