    Petit Plaisir

    One of my favorite moments from the week.

    Petit Plaisir

    During the summer, specifically, on the evenings when we don’t want to cook, a charcuterie board is what we do. Nothing too fancy, just some olives, tomatoes, salami, cheese, mustard, and a salad of greens. Of course, the glass of Rosé is optional. On this particular night, the birds were singing, the breeze was blowing, and the simplest task of eating brought so much pleasure.

    On My Paris List

    Le Grand café

    Le Grand Café recently opened up in the Le Grand Palais in Paris and it’s one of the most exciting openings for the season. With it’s gorgeous terrace and view of the Petit Palais, it’s a place on my list for this summer. The restaurant is under the group who owns Lou Lou so it’s sure to be something to talk about. You can make reservations online.
