Petit Plaisir

Here’s where I share a favorite moment from the week.

Making a café crème in the morning on a crisp day, while a French fall-inspired playlist is on in the background, and the gorgeous morning light. I love doing this when the weather turns crisp outside in the morning; it reminds me of sitting at a Parisian café during the fall and autumn seasons.

On My Paris List

MusƩe Jacquemat-AndrƩ

Paris has its share of museums, and while I have had the pleasure of visiting many, there’s still a long list of places I haven’t been to yet. On my list is the MusĆ©e Jacquemart-AndrĆ©, situated in a grand 19th-century mansion on Boulevard Haussmann, one of Paris’s most elegant small museums.

Once the private home of art collectors Ɖdouard AndrĆ© and NĆ©lie Jacquemart, it beautifully preserves the couple’s refined lifestyle and taste. Visitors can admire an exceptional collection of Italian Renaissance masterpieces, French decorative arts, and period furniture, all displayed in opulent salons. Beyond the art, the museum also offers a glimpse into Parisian high society of the Belle Ɖpoque.
