I'm so sad because this is the last film installment of Jerry & I's journey through France (visit part 1 & part 2 and be on the lookout for some digital & instax blogs). Oh, how I love black & white film so much. These shots come from our rainy day walk throughout Paris & our view of Charles de Gaulle airport the night before we left. There is something magical about airports, the lights, the coming & going. Let's just say...I can't wait to go back.

Love this boy!

Oh, Laudree is heaven for any sweet lover. Best pastries we had the whole trip, and I ate every pastry in all of France.

Caramel with salted butter, Raspberry, Brazil Pure Origin Chocolate...heaven. Pure heaven.

Jerry dropped a piece of this on the sidewalk. He picked it back up & ate it because it was too good to go to the pigeons.

You know me, I've got to have my coffee...all day, everyday.

It was a blustery day at the Lourve.

Our instax travels!

Airplanes coming in to land.

Always after that European chocolate!

The digital & instant film part of "France, a one-week love affair" will continue! Keep an eye out for them!

After spending a lovely few days in the South of France, Jerry and I caught a train and headed north back to Paris. We walked...everywhere. Next time, we will definitely learn how to work the public transportation. Advice for the future: just because you can see the Eiffel Tower does NOT mean it's in walking distance. However, it's extraordinarily pleasant to just stroll the neighborhoods, people watch, & eat a hot, fresh baguette along the way. Jerry & I happened upon the Arc de Triomphe during a parade, so naturally, I had to recreate my Tia Lauri's "spinning in the streets" photograph since all the streets were closed. This is the only time there were not a ton of small euro cars fighting their way around this massive traffic circle.

I loved all the biking throughout the city! I especially loved how everyone could bike, text, AND fight traffic!

I love this simple shot of the cream Alfa Romeo on the street corner! I wish this was a daily site here in the States--reminds me of the decades I wish I grew up in!

Beautiful Brasserie a few street blocks away from the Arc de Triomphe. Ate some escargot, soup, & drank some delicious french wine. Needless to say, I easily gained 15 pounds in France but it was so worth it!

I love the detail of the Eiffel Tower!

Looking up...and up, and up.

A weary walker stops for a sit on the Pont des Arts.

Jerry & I couldn't find a lock to purchase, but the love letters were heartfelt & endless.

I loved this grassy park along the Seine, where bikers cycled by, dogs played fetch, & teenagers escaped their parents. Also, the Eiffel Tower at night is such a magical view, & honestly, no picture does it justice!

The last black & white film installment of "France, a one-week love affair" should be up in the next few days! Until then, au revior!
