Paris, Part One: Cigarettes and Chocolate


The title of this post is play on a great Rufus Wainwright song I put on repeat while walking along the river; mostly, this song embodies the very attitude of the city. Take a listen

This was my second time visiting ol' Paris, and I think I loved it even more this time around. I wasn't rushed to see all the sites I had seen before, which left more time for croissants, crepes and espresso. This made for a very happy (and slightly chubbier) Ashley.

I started my trip with the Notre Dame. I loved it last time, and my love continues for this Gothic wonder...


 Notre Dame, we meet again! You're looking lovely, as always. 




Cute paris streets & street corners.




 Paris, a city made for the rain! 






 Listening to "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" while gazing at the pretty river and architecture. 





I don't have to say too much. The splendor of the city speaks very well for itself...

Until my next post, in which I share more devilishly delicious pictures of Paris (and the food).
