It’s been a crazy week weather-wise in Paris. We went from picture-perfect spring weather over the weekend to snow on Tuesday. Multiple times. It was very bizarre, but it’s warming back up again. I can’t wait to see even more blossoms emerging and leaves returning to trees. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France features the new Provence Glory book, a cute take on a French summer straw tote that I’ve never seen before, an unexpected picnic-perfect cheese board and more.
Five Friday Finds from France: April 2nd
The “limited lockdown” from last week quickly escalated into the third national lockdown that will last for at least another month. It’s a tough pill to swallow, again, but hopefully it’ll be the last time. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France features the Vincent Darré x Monoprix collaboration, a Parisian pâtisserie to add to your list, a dreamy Historic Houses of Paris book and more.
A Walk Through Palais-Royal
I fell in love with Paris by walking around around and taking everything in. I think it’s the best way to see the city and discover which part of it speaks to you. There really is something for everyone in Paris. With the imminent arrival of spring, I’ve been thinking about Paris gardens and the return of leisurely walks. There’s something about walking through Palais-Royal and its garden that remains a personal perennial favorite.
A French-Inspired Easter
This is my third Easter in France. Due to lockdowns, each Easter has been a little bit different but we’ve always managed to celebrate with a delicious meal. In my experience lamb and chocolate are two absolute Easter must-haves, and luckily those both can be modified in many different ways to have a French-inspired Easter celebration no matter where you are and who you’re celebrating with.
Five Friday Finds from France: March 26th
The first week of our newest “limited-lockdown” in France went by surprisingly fast. In all honesty it doesn’t make much sense to me, but I’m going with it. Today is my dad’s birthday so I’m looking forward to toasting him from afar with a his favorite drink, a margarita. Five Friday Finds from France includes yet another book that I’m dreaming about – Riviera Cocktail, a spring pasta recipe, Le Creuset’s perfect herb planters and more!
