Congratulations on going to Paris! I am wildly jealous and also can't wait to see the wonderful posts you'll make from your trip. Have the BEST time; LOVE your blog!
Please tell us if you are navigating the City alone or will you be joining a group?
the stained glass at san chappelle cathedral. the visual beauty overwhelmed all of my senses.
I have heard that there is a little shop called Collette...very famous for having new and wonderful things yet discovered by the rest of the world!
Have fun!
Congratulations - How I wish I could go as well! Just wander and wander and wander. Eat some bread, sip a kir, revel in your fabulosity.

* Sacre Couer at sunset looking out over the city
*buy toile fabric at one of the better fabric stores in Montmartre (Reine)
*bring home goodies from Le Grand Epicierie (near Le Bon Marche department store)

Hi Amy,
I read your blog all the time and...........I live in Paris!
Email me if you need help with anything or want to meet for a coffee (that would be a creme, actually). sanderslaura@yahoo.com
Have a great time in Paris! I just returned from there on 3/11. A must see is the Dries Van Noten boutique. The store was designed in "paris apartment" style and is absolutely stunning. If you go please take pics and let me know what you think!
Fleas Fleas Fleas!
Vanves
Montrieul
Clingancourt
Aligre
get Aladin magazine for brocantes and attic sales (vide greniers) on the streets of the city. They're listed by the day.
Le Fumoir is a great restaurant. Have the time of your life!
