Je m'baladais sur l'avenue le coeur ouvert à l'inconnu

im back! :) been sleeping since i came back cause i fell sick on the last day of london. awesome trip nonetheless!

I can see why people are split into two camps about Paris now. There is the romanticised view that Paris portrays and there is the uglier side of it that most people dont see (which we sadly forgot to take pictures of). Here's Paris at its best:

Galleries La Fayette, department store which has two seperate buildings, both three stories high and each solely dedicated to men and women :)




Their current exhibition, "Asiatic" -asian inspired.



My favouriteee: Fauchon - black and pink!



Fauchon: Their displays are gorgeous, mouth-watering, impeccable and perfect right down to the last raspberry haha. I loveeee.



Hediart: The fruit display really captivated us, we took TONS of pictures here. They had free pineapple samples to taste which were really really good. I can't believe people actually shop here! It looks too perfect.



Arc de Triumph:



Champs elysees: This man was actually using the mont blanc display window(top right) to hawk his goods -sticky plastic figurines that trapeze down the window. It was a sunday so the store was closed. We finally finally sat in one of those sidewalk cafes to eat (bottom left) and people watch. The chairs are always arranged to face outwards (bottom right), cool huh.



More of paris in the next post!
