PINK MAMA

Saturday, November 12th, 2022

We didn’t get so lucky with this restaurant in terms of waiting. I heard so much hype about this place and wanted to try it but it was impossible to make a reservation. So we waited in line for about an hour to get a table.

Was it worth it? Absolutely! – Said Chloe.

And the restaurant is stunning!

Montmartre

Saturday, November 12th, 2022

I really wanted to bring Chloe to Montmartre, which is one of my favorite places to visit in Paris. I love its charming cobbled streets, stunning Basilica, cute unique boutiques and bistros perched on the top of a small hill in the 18th arrondissement. The first time I came here by myself, I just fell in love with its charm and feels like every little corners of streets have so much history.

Right in the middle of the Montmartre district of Paris, is Le Consulat café which was visited by many of the acclaimed artists, writers and painters in the 19th century, including Picasso, Sisley, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Monet to name but a few.

ANOTHER TERRACE MOMENT!

Today’s temperature was nearly in the 60?s so we needed to come back to the hotel to change to a lighter close before our next destination. 

TOUR Eiffle

Saturday, November 12th, 2022

This morning I bought 10 Métro tickets for the day and our first destination took us to Trocadero for the view of Eiffle tower. What I had not known was that the sun was coming up from behind the tower which made it tricky to take pictures with my DSL camera. But we managed it fine with our iPhones and asking a fellow tourist to take photos for us.

We got back to our hotel little after 10 pm and finished our dessert and hung out in the terrace again. What a beautiful night to be outside! Chloe and I even made tiktok videos. 😉

My little happy purchase. 🙂

DINNER @Café Cassette

Friday, November 11th, 2022

After walking around Avenue des Champs-Élysées most of the day, we came back to Saint Germain to shop Chloe’s favorite store, Brandy Melville. Don’t ask… Anyway, we stumbled upon this cute little cafe and they had live jazz too!

DAY 2

BONJOUR~

Friday, November 11th, 2022

This morning, I had a breakfast reservation at Le Meurice but we woke up late and missed our reservation time. We got there 45 min late and had no luck getting in… even though we only saw two tables being occupied, they didn’t want to bother trying to squeeze us in…

Disappointed but I tried to shake it off and had a breakfast back at our hotel in Westin (which was still delicious but lacked the decor I wanted), then headed out to explore the city, But first, more photos in the terrace, of course! 😉

FIRST NIGHT IN PARIS

Thursday, November 10th, 2022

It’s been a long day but we got through it beautifully! We even had more dessert (From Angelina’s) back in the hotel in bed. 🙂 Good night Paris. Cant wait to see more of you tomorrow!

DINNER @ ECLIPSES By Cyril Choisne

Thursday, November 10th, 2022

We had amazing 5 course dinner with wine to celebrate our first night!  Even though it was supposed to be 5 course dinner, with chef’s special pre-starters and in-between palate cleanser, bread variety,  and complimentary desserts, we felt like we had about 8 or 9 plates of food. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours and it was so intimate and special to share it with my girl.
