Spring is in the air in Paris

The weather in Paris today was pretty amazing! It was filled with sunshine, blue skies and white clouds. The trees are started to pop out colored blossoms all over the city and my courtyard smells like honeysuckle. Here is a quick edit of pictures from the day. A big thank you to my friend Eric who shared his amazing rooftop view with me. 

 

 

Paris Pop Up – Food Fest

Today was the 7th Paris Pop Up titled “Food Fest” and was located at Le Perchoir a new bar/restaurant in Menilmontant. The restaurant is located on the 7th floor and has a 360 degree view of the city.

The menu consisted of 7 small bites by 7 sous- chefs. There were different stations between two areas where each chef prepared the bites.

One of my favorite small bites from Le Perchoir – Morgane Hurbourg with Seared Tuna, Potato Crisp and Spicy Mayonnaise

My second favorite dish by Harry Cummins & Francois Roche of Frenchie & Frenchie wine bar Scallop, Dashi, Pickled Daikon, Sesame

I also tried two other dishes that I didn’t think it the flavor mark for me but sounded interesting

Paul Bourdier – Le Chateaubriand Potato and Caramel with Grapefruit

Matted Nardin – Verranda – Sage Panacotta and Carrots.

Food tickets were 5 euros each and covered one small bite. Drinks were also offered including wine, beer, and cocktails

Along with food and drink there was a Jumble Sale by “The House that Jack Built”

David Lebovitz was on hand for a book signing as well

After grabbing food and drink you could enjoy the rooftop view while the sun peaked out for a little bit today

First day of Spring – Printemps

Yesterday was Macaron Day in Paris but also the first day of Spring. Coincidentally I found myself at the department store in Paris called Printemps (spring in French) Check out the stunning views of Paris from the terrace. I can’t wait to come back on a warmer day. Happy Spring

Snowy Paris Rooftops

I have wanted to live in Paris for a while now. I can’t say exactly how long. One thing on my Paris bucket list was to see it snow. It rarely snows in Paris so there wasn’t a big chance of this happening on my most recent trip. Especially because they had some good snows this year already. Today I got my wish. It may not look like much but just as the sun was beginning to set it started snowing. Just enough to coat the rooftops.

Paris Rooftops from the Arc De Triumph

When people travel to Paris, the Eiffel tower is a top destination on their list. If you don’t prebuy your tickets you can stand in line for hours waiting to get to the top. I will admit I have been there. The sunset at the top is beautiful! But I think one of the best views is from the Arc de Triumph especially the Paris rooftops. There are a few other views I have on my list for February. Where is your favorite view of Paris?
