Paris in January

Last weekend we took an impromptu approximately 30 hour trip to Paris. I insisted on consuming everything in sight. No treat was safe from my grasp.  Last week also marked the start of the "soldes" in France. It's actually a government mandated sale that almost every store and mall abides by. And let me tell you, it's taken very seriously. Shopping would be a french holiday. 
Nope. Not a chateau or museum. The inside of the mall "Gallerie Lafayette" 
These images do not accurately depict the crazed sales shoppers. It was a quiet moment. 

Road leading to our hostel.

Wine and cheese shop.

Cheese.

Paris in December

Dec 16th-18th. 

Katy and I spent a rainy Friday in Paris before our flights home. Her flight was that Saturday so I spent two days in Paris alone (tout seul) wandering the Marais, meeting up with a few friends, and trying to lounge confidently alone in cafes.
