The same day we took in the sights of 'Amelie' we went to the Picasso museum. No photos are allowed inside but outside there are some really creative photo opps. Enjoy! I think this is officially the last Paris post! I've enjoyed doing these so much. I hope it's made your heart smile too.

We spent some time at a beautiful spot where some shots from the movie 'Amelie' was shot in Paris. Here are a few:

Had to look through just like in the film!

xoxo Amelie!
This shop (right down the street from the previously mentioned vegan restaurant) had handmade art from Portland! So cute to find it in Paris. And more photos of cuteness...

From what I understand you can only by Isabel Marant in France. Her designs are beautiful.

Lovely

This means "vegan" in french! Even most french people don't know this word!

A place that touches me and moves me so deeply. A place where I left with a headache because I cried quiet tears as I walked through even though I wanted to openly cry: my soul wanted to cry loudly. I believe that the sorrows that have been shared, the loved ones prayed for, the deaths, the candles that have been lit to remember are so heavy here. Blessings on this special place, Notre Dame. I took the exterior photos and husband took the interiors.
Beautiful ballet shoe store

Candy Store on the sidewalk!

Beauty at the park

Beauty at the market

Yummy!

Oh that Paris sky

Eliot in front of an amazing building

One of our favorite restaurants right across the street from our hotel

Now that's a fountain.

The first time we tried to go to the Louvre it was a free day and the line wrapped around the pyramid and way out into the square. Insane amounts of people, we almost got pick pocketed by a very clever, charming, dirty and disgusting guy, and then we got out of there fast. So here are some photos from this amazing place. Just please, don't go in the summer time on a free day. Just don't.

Outside, of course.

Inside

From the inside

So excited

Eliot was excited too. It is enormous. The stairs and statues go on and on.

View from atop the Louvre at the cafe.
Inside.
Explaining some of this to Eliot was tricky.

More Diana.

From the cafe again.

Cafe food.

In person this looks just like my dad. Amazing!

Ceiling

More ceiling.

Looking up again.

Diana, again!

Doesn't do her justice.

Our wedding invitation in real life! We had the image of this statue on our wedding invitation ten years ago.

Venus de Milo

Thanks for looking. xoxo

Tea

A quiet corner

Too much, even for me

Andy's lovely strawberries and cream. Light and perfect.

The Toyota show room

Cute tiny car

Arc de Triomphe

A closer look

Ahhhhh that Paris sky

Just in case you needed help crossing

Did I post this already? My very dusty shoes, but it's Paris dust, so it's cultured and incredibly chic.

Watch out!

Cameras are not allowed inside. Silly Euro Disney rules!
Right now we're back on the east coast, hanging out in Brooklyn, New York for some soul searching fun. Wish us luck and love please!

We're off to New York again tomorrow and I'm bringing the laptop this time!

So many many photos of Paris.
At the playground

Entering the Louvre

Smoothies!

This place gave me the creeps. I couldn't go near it. I started shaking inside.

There was a couple just outside of this shot laying in the grass who needed some privacy, but who needs privacy in Paris?

And up close

Louvre

Louvre again

And again

One of my favorite photos of the trip.

More Paris and more Louvre to come. xoxo
