| ratatouille this is paris, after all |
 |
| one of the good rides yeay |
 |
| walking down champs elysees |
 |
| queueing in front of laduree, turns out there were two entrances. laduree was born in paris, so for those who are a fan of macarons, this vintage-y place is a must! |
 |
| baked goods |
 |
| what we're here for - macarons! |
 |
| seriously, they create art. |
 |
| this is the view from my airbnb apartment window. i love love love these window shutters. so abundant in amsterdam, switzerland, and now paris. every morning and evening, i will be the one to open and close them :) |
 |
| the view from sacre cœur, montmarte. also gray, also wet. |
 |
| sacre cœur basilica. one fancy fact about it: this basilica was built with a stone called travertine, which continuously exude calcite. this causes the basilica to remain white, despite weather and pollution. |
 |
| it's a really great view of paris from here, i wish it hadn't been so rainy.. |
 |
| place dauphine, a square in ile de la cité |
 |
| cafes surrounding the square and people playing football (although there was a sign saying no ball-playing) |
 |
| fontaine saint-michel from afar i didn't cross the road because there was so many cars! and also, my legs hurt |
 |
| cool lady in red, reading a book, hanging out alone, minding her own business |
 |
| notre dame |
 |
| i look awkward. as always. sheesh. |
 |
| i do love the old metro signs |
 |
| bad luck, bad weather. paris was cold and grey and wet. but there's not many pictures of eiffel tower on a cloudy day. |
 |
| even worse luck, there's some sort of renovation going around trocadero.. sigh |
 |
| la fayette did you know that there are two buildings: one for the ladies and one for the men? |
 |
| the interior though, so exquisite |
 |
| this is.. the opera? i forgot. haha. |
