We left Paris in the morning and after what seemed like a short train ride cross country we arrived at Fontainebleau- Avon station. A bit lost alongside with a few other tourists we all got in a bus and 5/10 minutes later we arrived at the castle.  Here is a little of this amazing place... I must say one of the things I regreted was not having taken a bottle of wine and some snacks and have a picnic in this amazing spot! Next time...

Good morning everyone, Woke up today missing one of my favorite cities to stroll, shop, eat...and so much more.  The lovely Paris, always ready to be photographed! Here are a few shots of one of my recent trips there!  Pauline is a lovely and charming lady who at her very advanced age is still selling paintings in the street. Sad I know. Her  painting  of lavender flowers' jar is on my bedroom wall, in a matching purple frame. Macaroons are such a coquete pastrie, it makes sence that the famous  La Durée store matched it! This gorgeous lady is my mom, walking alongside the Seine on a pretty sunny day, near Pont Des Arts, the famous bridge with the lockers you see on the movies. The timeless Polidor - my favorite restaurant in Paris Remember Last Tango in Paris? For me,l one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris

An amazing morning walk!  March already feels like summer!

Populi is a trendy place at Praça do Comércio and you can see why the moment you walk in. The décor and environment are young and cool. It has a nice crowd, with quite a few tourists, but not the crazy-lets-take-pictures-of-everything-folks either. Food was nice but it’s a bit pricy.
