Today’s “how to” post is brought to you by the ever-so-lovely Caroline of Coeur de La and I kind of love her a lot. She is quite possibly on of the most genuine and sweet people I’ve ever “met” – and we’ll hopefully be meeting this summer for real! I’m so excited. Make sure to check out her blog – she always makes me so hungry with the delicious foods she posts and she is the reason I fell in love with Nutella and Brie sandwiches. Such a genius idea – try it! Now, without further ado….here’s Caroline!
A Day in Paris Includes …
wine
a good book, a sketchbook and color pencils
make sure to stop and grab a baguette
Find a Patisserie
carry a baguette in your purse
make sure to grab a fromage plate
grab an espresso and people watch
enjoy some gelato
pick up some paté
enjoy a crepe
fill a picnic basket with cheese, paté and bread … and don’t forget the …
NUTELLA
And, RELAX in a park for hours!!
When I went to Paris I enjoyed all of these things
and
I wanted to share with you
How to spend a day in Paris without going to
France.
Last weekend, I found
Paris
in
my neighborhood and I hope with these tips
you will too.

That was a pretty amazing ‘how to’ Caroline! Thanks for taking me to Paris without leaving Oregon. Can’t wait to take a trip like this soon-perhaps on our next sunny day. 🙂
This is great! I love crepe and Nutella. Best thing in the world 🙂
don’t forget some accordian music and a macaron if you can find one 🙂
Oh my goodness – I think I need to abandon all my plans for today and spend some time in ‘Paris’.
Thanks for the happy post 🙂
perfection!
Caroline is the best! This sounds like the perfect way to spend my Saturday.
such a cute idea!
i just love this.
can’t wait to check out her blog!

Sounds like the perfect day!

Lauren …. you are a doll!!! Thank you for your sweet words!! I can’t wait to visit you … I am sure we will enjoy all of these goodies and I can’t wait to find Paris in Portland!!! Much love to you and your sweet followers! xo
What a lovely, lovely idea. My daughter and I are planning a mother/daughter trip to Paris upon her HS graduation, but this is not for 5 years! I am planning my Paris day alone now before the weather turns too hot to enjoy sitting in the sun. Just wonderful idea, thank you!
awww! i love Caroline! this was such a neat post… thank you both for sharing this with us! now i want to leave work and use all that i have learned from this post to have a relaxing day in paris 🙂
I love this post. I love Paris, they really do know how to live life to the fullest! People watching is fun, (especially in a strange city)! As for Nutella?! I get in trouble with that stuff! I have to hide all the spoons if I have it in the house! Yum. xo
i think this is exactly how i’d like to spend the day after all my finals are over! this was wonderful to read!

I love this post. So so much! Thanks for the wonderful ideas… I’m off to Paris (pretend Paris) right now!
This is a very sweet post… And you know my weakness for anything Paris… I just cannot resist!
My favorite part is carrying the baguette in your purse. 🙂
I was in Paris this past May and took a baguette and a nutella cup from the hostel for lunch. Please don’t tell!
