Spring is truly in the air, and it seems that no one wants to miss out on the April in Paris action this year. The lines at museums have been absolutely packed this week, and I have a feeling they will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Planning ahead for a trip to Paris and anywhere in France is more important than ever – feel free to reach out to me for travel planning assistance. We headed out of Paris Thursday night for Normandy for the long Easter weekend, and I’m very much looking forward to leaving my laptop shut. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 15 include a Pierre Hermé and Häagen-Dazs collaboration, a look at a “fairytale” French home, some French-inspired Easter recipes (Romain will be making Pierre Hermé’s Gateau Suzy), and a feature on a gorgeous little-known French island. Enjoy!
