J'adore Paris!

In a flash Paris has been and gone and I am still immersed in the smells of fresh coffee and pain au chocolate. The most romantic city in the world never fails to capture me when I visit making me think, could I be one of those commuters that travel from Paris to London daily? The quality of life there takes London down a few notches, everyone seems less stressed and more into mid morning coffee and multiple cigarettes in one of the many cafe's lining La Seine. Don't get me wrong, me and London just 'get each other', we have a mutual understanding of work hard and play hard, but I still can’t help but think what it would be like to ‘reveiller’ in Paris daily.
Everywhere you look, beauty surrounds you, from the tree lined avenue Montaigne to the chic French women strutting in Chanel through the Tuileries Gardens. Everything about Paris is beautiful. Fact. Returning to London I still feel high on French food and wine, mostly because a bottle of Bordeaux was polished off on the Eurostar. A few weeks later I am still swooning around thinking about French lifestyle when I bump in to a La Duree in the middle of Covent Garden, can this be for real? My own little piece of Paris in the centre of London?  With that I promptly sit and indulge in some well needed Macaroons..... This is what London is all about. Allowing you everything you want in one city, on your doorstep.
