Paris Je T'aime

My partner is a self-professed Francophile. He's been to France something like four times; continues to learn French and is also teaching our "little person" the language of love (in fact, they've even placed little French labels throughout our home and designated certain meals as "French-only" times); visits French bookstores with the little person; is a cinephile for French flicks and has a French pen-pal (internet pal, really, who shares beautiful photos of his family and life from a countryside in France). His affection for the country is contagious (not that it would ever be difficult to fall in love with it, non?) and has led me to two blogs that I absolutely adore:

Not only are these blogs visually stunning, they are also amazing reads and oh, so inspiring! (Each blog also has access to their flickr photos which come highly recommended).

As you know, whenever I discover a blog that I love, I contact the writer to thank them. (It really is like having your fan mail answered, when they do! And even more inspiring to discover that these writers are lovely extensions of their amazing blogs!)

While our European vacation doesn't include France this time, my sweet Francophile has promised that the three of us will spend one summer there (who knows, maybe more?) in the future.

Until then, if you haven't already fallen in love with France, I ask you to open your hearts... and make a date with yourself to watch, Paris Je T'aime, and begin your relationship with this beautiful country...
