My favorite day of the past week was without a doubt Sunday. It was a gorgeous day and all Romain and I did was walk around without a destination in mind. I think this is one of the best ways to truly experience Paris, and I highly recommend leaving a day without a plan at all in your schedule if you have the flexibility. The rest of the week got away from me with too much going on, but sometimes that happens. I extended my Instagram break (which I can also highly recommend) – but I promise I will be back next week. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week Six include a great list of the best hotels in Paris in 2023, a goodbye to Le Castiglione, and a Notre Dame update. Enjoy!
