Paris

We lived in Paris in an apartment in the 7th arrondisment near the Eiffle Tower and Rue Cler for 1 month. Paris really is a beautiful city and I miss it a great deal. I don't necessarily miss the Notre Dame or Pompidou Center or any other specific thing. I miss the way of life and the culture. I miss taking a walk down Rue Cler every morning to buy my croissants and baguettes. I miss browsing through patisseries in search of the perfect dessert. I miss stopping at our favorite creperie for a confiture or nutella crepe then oggling the Eiffle Tower while strolling the Champs de Mars with crepe in hand. I miss the open markets and all the specialty shops even if I never shop at them. I miss Paris and how it moves. Browse the Rue Cler gallery and you may get an inkling of what I miss. A picture is worth a thousand words, the real thing is worth a thousand memories.
