My Life in Paris and Travels Around France
I truly believe more is more when it comes to the Christmas tree so I always keep my eyes out for festive ornaments. Anything French or Paris-inspired is always a must for me. I’ve rounded up over 50 French Christmas ornaments available online to add to your collections. These sell out every year so if you see something you like don’t hesitate!
I may live in Paris (France), but I’m from Texas and it will always have my heart. There are so many fun Texas Christmas ornaments and decorations available online. I love adding to our home and tree every year. These will sell out, so if you see something you like don’t hesitate!
Now more than ever, I think Valentine’s Day should be less about grand gestures and more about doing heartfelt things to honor the people you love, whether that’s a friend, a family member, a partner, or yourself. I created this list of Valentine’s Day gift ideas for Francophiles last year and updated it this year. There’s a little something for everyone – I think these French-inspired gifts (all available online) would make the day extra special!
One of my favorite things about being in someone’s home is looking through their collection of books, usually amassed over many years. When I moved to Paris, I had to leave most of my books at home in Dallas due to weight restrictions. One day I’ll be reunited with my collection of books. This morning I was flipping through some of the books here and started thinking about my favorite coffee table books about France.
The worst part about coming to Paris is the travel (unless you live close, of course). I’m luckily not a nervous flyer, but any long-haul flight puts a lot of physical stress on the body. Arriving in Paris is exciting and you want to hit the ground running, but jet lag can get in the way. After going back-and-forth a few times (I had 18 long-haul flights last year), I’ve come up with a list of the best ways to avoid and cure jet lag and arrive in Paris feeling your best.
