Paris for the Third Time: Why It Might Be My Favorite City in the World

Sometimes I can’t believe it took me 40 years to get to Paris—and now, in just two years, I’ve been three times. It might officially be my favorite city in the world. This trip felt especially meaningful because we finally experienced it with Chip’s parents. His mom has always loved Paris and the Eiffel Tower, and we always dreamt of sharing that moment together.

They met us just an hour after we landed, and just like that, our Paris reunion began—with an unforgettable Uber ride from Charles de Gaulle to Montparnasse, complete with ambient lighting and just enough flair to match the excitement we were all feeling. We were finally all in Paris together.

So This Is Love: Paris {Part Deux}

Oh Paris, you have my damn heart, and I think you always will. Our France trip commenced six weeks ago in Paris, and from the moment we were swept east via train, I’ve been thinking about the 'city of love' ever since. All of France has been magic, but there is just something about Paris for me. So after looping around the country to Bordeaux, then the Basque Coast, inland to Carcassonne, then the Mediterranean Coast, we hopped on our final high-speed train of the trip and headed towards Paris for our final four days! And let me tell you, it was icing on an already delicious cake!

So This Is Love: Paris {Part 1}

So. This is love. Not a question. A statement. I was officially infatuated with a city. Paris had me at bonjour. For forty years (or something like that) I had been dreaming about visiting Paris. The books, movies (most recently, Emily in Paris!), real life stories from friends, and photos had this destination looking and sounding as dreamy as can be to me. The boys had learned all about Paris in first grade, and Bennett even wrote a book report (on his own accord!) about the city of love, and since then they had wanted to go too. Well, we had officially arrived and were so moved by Paris, that after circling around France for six weeks, we planned to come back and spend even more time here. I'm telling you, something about this place is pure magic.
