I had a phase with older guys (but let’s be honest, still in that phase). One day, I’d like to settle down in an old French classic house with black and white photos framed on the walls, but for now a fling with a vintage leather jacket will have to do.   There’s just something special about old things. Vintage clothes = next level. Old books? Have that great smell that reminds you that k ..read more

15 Essential Parisian Cheeses And I mean essential. May 27, 2021 7:56 pm No Comments If you’re spending significant time in Paris, you need to know these cheeses. Yes, they are that essential. No, I am not being overdramatic. Brillat-Savarin If the fact that this cheese is described as triple cream doesn’t convince you to try it, I’m not sure what will. Mostly produced in Burgundy and usually only aged for a couple weeks, this cheese is soft and creamy for sure. Made fresh, it’s like cream cheese. Aged longer, it’s firmer and smaller, yet magically more creamy! Don’t ask the fat ..read more

May 27, 2021 7:17 pm No Comments If you take the best aspects of life (i.e. romance and food) and put them in an animated film, you’d get Ratatouille. This 2007 Disney film has all the makings of a classic: a great story of triumph, a family coming together, and a character arc so pure it truly is *chef’s kiss.* Plus, it’s based in the best city in the world, Paris.

Five Must See Paintings At The Louvre That Aren't The Mona Lisa It’s time to broaden your art palate. May 27, 2021 6:15 pm No Comments If you’re an art snob, the Louvre is heaven on earth. But from art connoisseur to delighted tourist, it’s easy to miss some of the best paintings the museum has to offer if your one goal is to stand behind a mass of people to catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa (which by the way is so small a man once stole it simply by putting it under his coat… might I suggest you bring binoculars?).
