Because Al’s first language is French, he can overhear conversations around us when we are in France. One in particular stands out... :: :: We were having lunch when he overheard a group behind us talking about the United States. This one girl had just gotten back and was complaining haaaard about the US. Things in particular overheard: -all the bread tastes like wonder bread -people are crushed under student loan debt -there is no food culture -every person is poor -the south has nothing but fast food Okay so she’s not wrong on a lot of counts but like WHAT KIND OF TRIP DID HOMEGIRL GO ON!?!?! And did she not try actual food? In my opinion some of the best food in America can be found in the south. Aaaaannnyywayyyyy, I know that most countries don’t think so high of the US, I get it, but she just had the worst vacation of her life sorry girl lolololol :: :: Have you ever overheard a weird conversation? . . . . . . . . . . . #jardindestuileries #tuileriesgarden #parisobviously #thisisparis #parisvibes #parisparks #parisinthefall #france_holidays #parissecret #pariscityvision #france4dreams

If found, return here (always) ✨ :: :: TRAVEL 2020 ⭐️ A few weeks ago I implored y’all in my stories to give me some thoughts on the best spots in the USA. I’m thinking about exploring more of our own country for once since you know, it’s big. So give me your favorite most gorgeous places in the US! :: BUT...but but but...no super outdoorsy places. Hiking is the worst and I do not camp. I like the IDEA of being in the mountains a lot, but like, give me a place with rustic cabins. GOOOO!! . . . . . . . . . . . #parisbalcony #parisviews #parisfrance #parisobviously #itssoparis #parislovers #francefr #france_holidays #montmartre #airbnbparis #europetravel

“Alexa, post the money shot” :: :: There are some good views out of train windows in the world, but this has to be in the top 3 at least don’t ya think!? :: :: 📍SAVE FOR HOW: the green line 6 goes across the river next to the Eiffel Tower. You’ll want to be going TOWARDS the tower from Passy to Bir-Hakeim. Anytime I’ve been on this train in the middle of the afternoon it’s always been nearly empty. If not, just get on/stop at Passy and wait for an empty car to roll by and hop on! . . . . . . . . . #parismetro #trainwindow #windowviews #eiffeltowerparis #eiffeltowerview #parisobviously #parisfrance #franceobviously #parissecret #pariscityvision #parisonline #topparisphoto #thisisparis #ig_france #france_vacations #topeiffeltowerphoto

So there was a real missed opportunity here to pose like the photo. THANKS AL FOR NOT TELLING ME. :: :: @hotelcarondebeaumarchais has the cutest vintage decor. Think florals, paintings, and antique furniture. I need to be wearing some poofy dress sitting here but ya know me, that is a rarity. My bad. :: :: Does your country do daylight savings time? Our clocks turned back yesterday and it now gets dark at like 4:30 😩 . . . . . . . . . #hotelcarondebeaumarchais #carondebeaumarchais #vintagedecorating #floralwallpaper #lemarais #parishotel #parishotels #parisfrance #itssoparis #travellikeagirl #womentravel #sheexplores #girlstraveldiary #blondesandcookies #girlsabroad #femmetravel #journeysofgirls #darlingescapes #thetravelwomen #wunderthirst #globelletravels #francehotel

TRUTH ABOUT VERSAILLES: it was just ok 🤷🏼‍♀️ :: :: Now before you @ me about this, I’ll say that it truly is an opulent, beautiful palace. BUT, I feel like there are actually much more beautiful, much more interesting castles elsewhere in France. If you ever get the chance, venture outside it Paris a few hours to the Loire Valley aka castleville and stay a few days. There are over 300 down there in this area of the French countryside and some, in my opinion, are far more impressive than Versailles. Sue me. :: :: We got to the hall of mirrors fairly early but it still took about 15 minutes of waiting for people to move to get this shot. Is that place just always packed orrr? . . . . . . . . . . . . #versailles #versaillespalace #palaceofversailles #hallofmirrors #versaillesfrance #frenchcastle #france_holidays #france4dreams #francemylove #franceobviously #femmetravel #journeysofgirls #darlingescapes #thetravelwomen #wunderthirst #globelletravels #citizenfemme #girlpowertravel #girlslovetravel #thedreamytravels #shewandersdaily #traveldreamescape #travelmoments #travelmood #passionfortravel #traveljunkies #iamtb #thetravellingnomads

It wasn’t until after I bought this paper, took photos with it, got home, uploaded these into lightroom and started editing did I even notice it says PESTICIDES on it. Super. :: :: If you’re off to Paris and are needing a beautiful, floral, perfectly Parisian chic, affordable hotel in a great area (Le Marais!) then don’t skip this one @hotelcarondebeaumarchais. This boutique hotel with its famous bright blue facade has the cutest rooms you ever did see and one of the best breakfasts we had in Paris. Per night starts around $155 which for this area I found is awesome value...especially for this cuteness level. . . . . . . . . . . . . #hotelcarondebeaumarchais #carondebeaumarchais #lemarais #parisfrance #parisobviously #thisisparis #parisiloveyou #parislove #breakfastwithaview #hotelbreakfast #ladiesgoneglobal #citizenfemme #girlsdreamtravel #womantravel #travelgirlshub #travelgirlstyle #travelgirlscollective #womenintravel #womentravelers #travelette #ladieslovetravel #globewanderess #travelingtheworld #thebestdestinations #tourtheworld #backpackersglobe #topparishotels #bestcitybreaks #parishotel
