Paris Photo of the Day: The Thinker

After returning from Amsterdam and picking up my new puppy along the way
(a mini dachshund!), I'm back in Paris... Well, virtually at least.

The quintessential artwork at Rodin's musuem is 'The Tinker' or 'Le Penseur'.


Musée Rodin


With a sky as blue as it was that day, it easy to take dozens of
beautiful pictures of the sculptures.

Rodin's work is truly artistic.

The view from the museum overlooking the garden is a one-of-kind view.

Paris Photo of the Day: Ladurée Rose Pastry

I'm leaving blogging for a short week to head to Amsterdam (work-related),
so I want to sign off with a special Paris Photo of The Day!

This stunning Ladurée pastry is called
Saint-Honoré Rose Framboise.

A pastry that tastes as elegant as it looks...


Ladurée – Saint-Honoré Rose Framboise


We sat down at Ladurée's little café inside the department store Printemps.

Paris Photo of the Day: Le Bon Marché

This picture not might be typical Parisian,
but I spotted these colorful KitchenAid mixers at Le Bon Marché,
one of Paris' finest department stores.

I was so mesmirised by all the colors.


Le Bon Marché


The stunning view from inside the store.
Every floor level houses the most beautiful designer goods.


Le Bon Marché


But I found my sanctuary at the top floor,
over at the kitchen supplies.

Paris Photo of the Day: Paris Streets

One of the amazing things about Paris,
and the reason why the city so loved by everyone,
is that you can't turn a corner or street without a spectacular view.

I was just on my way to a store when I passed this gorgeous roundabout.


2nd Arrondissement


And here I was heading for a bakery that I heard had amazing
white chocolate chip cookies when I spotted this gorgeous scenery.


2nd Arrondissement


So lovely!

Paris Photo of the Day: Old Bookstore

A new week filled with photos of Paris is on it's way!
While I'm drinking a Frangelico, I want to share with you this lovely Paris image.


Galerie Vivienne


This lovely old bookstore can be found in Galerie Vivienne.
It is just around the corner where I had the luscious scone.


Galerie Vivienne


I adore the bookshop's sign!

Paris Photo of the Day: Galerie Vivienne

You might have wondered where I ate that luscious-looking scone filled with ice cream
and drenched in red berry syrup?

A Priori Thé is situated in the lovely Galerie Vivienne.
I sat outside the tearoom and enjoyed the wonderful scenery of the gallery.


Galerie Vivienne


Even if you have no plans of stopping at A Priori Thé,
it is a lovely walkway to pass through.

Paris Photo of the Day: the Rodin Museum

This is the beautiful frontside of Musée Rodin.
It is one of my favorite photographs I've ever taken in Paris.


Musée Rodin


It's not hard to see why...
A stunning castle, garden, and roses all in one picture.

I had it as my wallpaper on my desktop for the longest time!
Do you ever use vacation photos as wallpaper?

Paris Photo of the Day: A Priori Thé Dessert

We continue with our beautiful tour through Paris,
every day with a few photos.

Today's Paris Photo of the Day is this delicious dessert
from a place called A Priori Thé.


A Priori Thé


It is actually a scone with a red berry syrup and ice cream in the middle.

To counterbalance the coldness of the ice cream, I ordered their
hot chocolate to accompany the dessert.


A Priori Thé


So delicious!

Paris Photo of the Day: the lovely Parc Monceau

One of Parc Monceau's most beautiful statue/building is near the pond.
These ancient-looking poles look as if they survived hundreds of years in Paris...
They probably have.

Such a stunning feature of the park!


Parc Monceau


Are you intrigued yet to visit Parc Monceau?

Musée de l'Orangerie has many works of impressionist and post-impressionist artists,
such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-August Renoir, Alfred Sisley.
