At Home in Paris

I have a flat in Paris! It's beautiful, it's perfect. Right on the edge of "Le Marais", in the heart of the old city. And I have a courtyard...a French one, where I can look out and see windowsills overflowing with flowers. And inside, it is a cozy but elegant studio with an adorable little kitchen. Tall ceilings, equipped with an antique crystal chandelier and walls covered in paintings remind me that I am in Paris. I love it here. And it is mine for 2 weeks. My location is perfect. I am technically in the 3rd arrondisement, on the right bank of the Seine River...known as the "quieter part of Le Marais". But, a few steps and I am in the bustling frenzy of it all...with alluring Jewish pastry shops and art galleries on every corner. And...the best Gelato in town! This is exactly where I had envisioned myself...and here I am!

I am excited for this weekend and am in the process of making plans. Chocolate is on the agenda and lots of it. For Halloween, one of the events I plan to attend is called, "Salon du Chocolat" at the Paris Expo. It just happens to be the world's largest event dedicated to chocolate. Sounds appropriate!

Happy Halloween to everyone! :)
