Capes, Fur & Jewel Tones // Paris Travel Diary

Today’s post brings us back to our trip to Paris, France!

On our third day in Paris we explored la Rive Gauche.  We started the day off by grabbing some coffee & fresh (almond) croissants on the way to la Cathedrale Notre-Dame.  I actually never watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame when I was little, so my sister and I streamed it on Netflix right before we left.  Although I know it’s only a cartoon, it was so neat to recognize spots from the movie, including spotting the gargoyle Hugo on the roof!  We also walked up to the top of the bell towers (on the tiniest winding staircase!) which gave us an amazing view of Paris.  Afterwards, we spent the rest of the afternoon wandering through le Jardin Luxembourg, then stopped to eat crepes at la Creperie!

Ps.  In case you missed it, here are the links to the first two days of our Paris adventure!  Day one – Our trip to Versailles and Day two – Exploring Le Marais.  I’ve also shared some more pictures of our trip to Paris (including some candid iPhone snaps!) over on Facebook if you want to check it out 😉

Before I left for my trip, I stopped in to see Nevena for a manicure.  She did an amazing job of creating a unique graphic design on each nail using burgundy, gold and clear polish to create a negative space effect!
