Bonjour!

Bonjour everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!  I had planned on having my posts for the week all planned out and ready to go before we left for our holiday {spoken like a true European there}…but it didn’t quite work out as planned.  Ahh… such is life I suppose.  I did want to take a minute to say a quick “Bonjour” {pronounced Bohn-zoor} from Paris to give you an idea of what we’ve been up to these days.  You may have seen some of these if you follow me on instagram (@ashleypletch3).  Thanks for stopping by!

 Perfect day for a picnic by the Eiffel Tower… Seriously cannot get enough of this view!

Picnic goodies to include: Macarons, Chocolate Eclairs, French Baguette, Strawberries, Parmesan cheese, and wine!

Cannot get enough of these chocolate croissants! They are so flaky and the chocolate is pure perfection.  And… they have a Starbucks here. 

Rue Cler market made me feel like a kid in a candy store and this is only a tip of the iceberg.  From fresh pastries, cheese shops, butchers, cafe’s, and flower shops.  You name it- it was there!  

Fresh florals I mentioned ^^^.

Arch de Triomph

Gorgeous tree lines… I’m in love with all of the symmetry here, which symbolizes organization and control.  {I like the organized part.}

Lover’s bridge- Pont de l’Archevêché

The Eiffel Tower– It’s so fascinating to just walk around and then pop- there is this massive structure that has been around for 100+ years that is absolutely stunning.
