I've never heard of Palais Garnier until just now but that is immediately going on my bucket list. Wow!

Right?! It is SO bucket list-worthy! A perfect addition to yours šŸ‘

Congrats on the quiz win!!

Palais Garnier! My favorite place in the world! 🤩 I love that you re-visited it this weekend.

My goodness those pastries look like heaven! I LOVE champagne, the drier the better. Really the only thing I miss about drinking (and spicy margaritas). Very upset at my genetic makeup for not making the enzyme needed to break down alcohol 😭 As always, living vicariously and I thank you šŸ’˜

I briefly considered grabbing my suitcase and just…moving in there šŸ˜ That little twist of genetic fate is so frustrating…but it’s kind of lovely to be older/wiser and reach a place of acceptance with the things our bodies won’t tolerate.

Maddie, this is so wonderful! And thank you for the shout-out! The Paris Opera house and the Chagall on the ceiling always gets me šŸ˜ƒā¤ļø

You will definitely need to write a recap of your favourite restaurants in Paris!

I agree it’s so worth revisiting places to experience with fresh eyes. You’ve changed so much in a decade that your appreciation changes too. 🤩

I completely agree…I’m a totally different person than I was for my first visit!
