Random Paris snaps from Friday

Paris is by far the most romantic and beautiful place I know

Just as last December, we lunched at L'Avenue, that was yet again such an amazing experience

Mouth watering Sea Bass in a Thai red curry sauce

We stopped for a drink at the bar in the gorgeous Plaza Athenee which is part of the Dorchester Collection

It's fair to say after lunch I was a teeny weeny bit tipsy LOL

The Eiffel tower never fails to impress

Culinary creme de le creme

With my man in Paris.

L'Avenue Restaurant in the Golden Triangle - never disappoints. Lobster macaroni washed down w Billecart Salmon rose champagne - This is the life, well worth a 300 mile journey for lunch ;-)

Perfect Paris

Our fab lunch venue L'Avenue - the place to see and to be seens, and where the food is orgasmic

I nearly had the Billiecart-Salmon rose bottle all to myself (one of my favourite champs)

Mouth watering! I had lobster pasta and Bear chose jumbo prawns risotto

Taking in the beautiful architecture in what is surely one of the world's prettiest city

See if you can spot the Eifel tower behind me

the en suite bathroom

our huge walk in shower

the bathroom had a tub too

Room service - some more rose champage :-)

Strolling down Champs Elysses

heating up with a warm mulled wine

a perfect people watching spot

drinking cafe au lait

Dinner and drinks at the very extravagant Hotel Costes

And finally, the lights that wraps the Champs Elysees in a tinselly Christmas glow

Paris, here we come! :-)

Ok, so the excitement is building up. With Dolly Parton's lovely version of "Winter Wonderland" playing in the background, I'm packing for mine and Bear's baby- free weekend (yes, we really are making the most of having my Mum over, as I wouldn't trust Sean with anyone else for that long) in France's capital, where we will have a suite (thanks Bear!) at the fabulous boutique Hotel; The Pershing Hall.

I've just checked the weather, and there lots of snow today and tomorrow, so it will be all Christmassy when we arrive. Paris in Christmas winter wonderland, YAY! Can't think of a more romantic setting!
