Nowhere else like Étretat 🌊 France is defini

Nowhere else like Étretat 🌊

France is definitely full of natural wonders, but among them all, this one is a little extra special ✨ The way the light hits the jagged limestone cliffs & wild coastline here is indescribable, magical, ethereal. Every angle of it looks like a painting, sounds like poetry, smells like freedom, and all of it at the same time. Étretat is pure raw beauty. Easy to see why it inspired so many artists throughout the years, like Monet, Courbet or Gauguin just to name a few 🎨

Located in Normandy, it is easy to reach from Paris by train (2h 🚂 to Le Havre + 1h bus 🚌) or car (3h 🚘), which makes it the perfect weekend getaway. You can also go there on a day trip only, but if you have the time, I would definitely recommend to spend 1 night around ~ just to have that little golden hour picnic on top of the cliffs 🧺🍷 ~ and maybe couple it with other charming cities nearby, like Honfleur, Deauville or Cabourg 🇫🇷

Now who wants to go?! Should I post more photos from this place? I have so many 😅🤭 tell me which one is your favorite among these 6 by the way!

Save this for your next adventures in France 📝

Lost in a pink paradise 🌸 Finally managed to c

Lost in a pink paradise 🌸

Finally managed to capture the most enchanting field of cherry blossoms near Paris: Parc de Sceaux 🤩 I was telling you 2 weeks ago under a former post that even after years of content creation in Paris (well, and my whole life living here by the way 😅🫣), I kept on missing this place at blooming peak every year, but I guess 2024 finally breaks the cycle! And oh my, how stunning it is 🥹

It is for sure a bit of organization to come here since you can’t access it as easily as the other spots in central Paris, and it’s easy to miss the blooming window which is always so short. But if you can find the time, definitely plan a day-trip (or even just a morning walk) to witness these endless rows of fluffy Kanzan cherry blossom trees 💗

Located barely 30min away from Paris, the Parc de Sceaux is a pure fairytale scene, especially in April where the North Grove comes to life for Hanami celebrations 🌸 but you can also visit all year long, the castle & all gardens are absolutely magnificent as well!

📍Bosquet Nord, Parc de Sceaux, France (30 min away from Paris with RER B)
🗓️ Come between 5th & 20th of April (on average) to see them in full bloom 🌸 - these were taken on the 11th of April 2024, but the blossoms have been early this year, so make sure to be flexible and plan/adapt your visit carefully depending on the weather next spring.
⏰ As always, try to be there as early as possible in the morning and on a weekday to avoid the big crowds - sunrise light is especially magical here ☀️

Save this for your next Parisian spring adventures 📝

The time has come 🥹🌸

Cherry blossoms have officially started blooming in Paris 💗 Here are all the best spots to go see & capture them in the weeks to come:

1- Trocadéro gardens
2- Jardin des Plantes
3- Square Gabriel Pierné (behind Institut de France)
4- Shakespeare & Co
5- Petit Palais
6- Mail de Bièvre
7- Falguière metro station
8- Jardin des Champs-Élysées (Fontaine de Diane)

10- Parc de Sceaux ~ even though this illustrating picture is from Trocadéro, since it’s the only spot I still don’t have any photos from 🫣 this place is outside Paris (20km away) so it’s a bit more organization to go & I keep on missing it every year 😅 but make sure to go if you can because it’s literally a cherry blossoms paradise 🌸 stay tuned to see if I will FINALLY succeed to capture them this year!! 🤞🏻

Welcome to the stunning garden all Parisians want

Welcome to the stunning garden all Parisians want to keep secret 🤫 This tropical oasis courtyard, hidden in the heart of the Petit Palais in Paris, is absolutely beautiful all throughout the year, but it gets a lil’ extra magical in spring 🌸 perfect for a morning stroll, tea or coffee and a good book when warmer temperatures come back in the city 🫖📖✨

Also this incredible ceiling gets me everytime 🥹

Bonus point: Entrance to the Petit Palais Museum is actually free for permanent exhibitions (more info to come in stories)! Make the most of your visit and have a look at the amazing collection of sculptures inside, before finding a spot in the garden to enjoy a little treat with this view ☕️

Save this for your next trip to Paris!

Disclaimer: this tea pot & cup are mine, they do not belong to the courtyard café, which is currently under renovation.

📍Petit Palais Museum, Paris 8e arrondissement
🗓️ This tree is in bloom from around the 5th to the 20th of March
⏰ videos taken on the 14th of March between 10am & 12pm
