Paris Cafe Letter

 

Everyone loves Paris cafes ☕️ 

Right?

Les Franciscaines, Deauville

It’s Sunday afternoon & sunny 🌞 An ice cream day.

Therefore le vrai Parisian will be making their ritual trip to rue Saint Louis en l’Île

Edgar Degas | Musée d'Orsay

 

On Wednesday I went to the musee d’Orsay to look at the Degas paintings on the 5th floor.

It’s a mixup of race horses (this one is mine)
