Five years ago this week we returned to the States after three years in Paris. Three wonderful, infuriating, amazing, heart-wrenching years. And not a day goes by that we don’t miss it! This is not an exhaustive list, by an means, but, just for fun, here is a little album of things that we miss about living in France (all pictures are mine).
Mayonnaise in a tube. Seriously, the best mayonnaise ever.
Reliable public transportation (as long as they aren't on strike, that is).
Annual pass to the Louvre. Makes for great dates!
Quirky cars. Yes, that is fur on the wheel wells.
Finding history on every corner (plaques optional)
Amazing views. Sunset over Mont Valerien.
Hanging out in Napoleon's digs
There are lots of other things we miss that I don’t have photos of (but now that I’m looking, I wonder, Why not?!): good baguette, cheese, wine for 3€ a bottle, of course the markets, being able to walk anywhere we needed to go, plenty of interesting things to do or look at for free, wonderful little restaurants, fresh crêpes just to name a few more. We’re always scheming ways to get back. One of these days, we’ll make it, and then I will take pictures of all the things I missed the last time. 🙂
