bienvenue mes amis

Welcome to the beginning of many posts about our trip to Paris. We took what seemed like a million photos so I'll just try to hit the highlights and not bore you to pieces. I'm still getting over jet lag so I'll be easing in with only a few today.

Hubby and I took it very easy the first day in Paris after a long journey and tried to get some rest before heading out to a book launch at WHSmith for David Lebovitz's wonderful new book, The Sweet Life in Paris. It was just happenstance that the event was the evening we arrived and I wanted to take advantage of such a unique opportunity. I read the book on the plane ride over and highly recommend it. David gives you a taste of what it's like to live in Paris and shares some great recipes, too.
