LIFE IS FOR LIVING NOT LIVING UP TIGHT

It’s week two and I’m feeling really at home now… 

We had an amazing week with our classmates. We saw some nice paintings and artwork from Dali at the Dali Museum in Montmartre. Of all the museums I’ve been these two weeks, I think this one got me the most.  I love how Dali makes these weird sculptures with a really great thought behind it.

On Thursday we had a blast at the party at club 67 near Champs Elyseés. We danced the night away with our classmates from Mexico, Germany and Spain. And we had a few Tequilla which explains the good conversations with the cabdriver haha!

This weekend was also great. My boyfriend visited me and we went to Saint-Germain de Prés for a lunch at Les Deux Magots. Then on Sunday we wanted to go to the Catacombe of Paris but when we arrived at the metro station we found ourselves standing right in the middle of the Gay marriage strike. And with like 50.000 people around us we couldn’t go to the Catacombe. So we went for a nice lunch and the amazing view on Tour Montparnasse.

PARIS AND... // (NON) VALENTINE'S DAY

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and all the stores are full of lovely gifts and furry hearts. It looks like the whole world is desperately looking for a nice present for his or her lover. Personally I think Valentine’s Day is a bit hypocritical ‘cause, I don’t need a special day when I ‘’must’’ show my love to my lover.
But in a way I could understand that people take this day as their chance to show their love. So, why not in Paris? It is the perfect setting for some romance…

‘’THE GENESIS OF BUTTERFLIES’’ BY VICTOR HUGO
‘’The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,’’

Victor Hugo was one of the most influent French romantic writers of the 19^th century, this is a piece of his poem ‘’The genesis of butterflies’’. He also lived in Paris at Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris. Also a very romantic place to go to with your lover!

Below some romantic Paris' style-things for a ( non ) Valentine’s Day…
