I Love Paris in the Springtime

In a short while, this lucky girl will be heading to France! We'll be staying a few nights on the Normandy coast, a night in Versailles, and almost a week in Paris. Needless to stay, I'm beyond excited and it just hit me that the trip is right around the corner and I've got to buckle down on planning and brushing up on my French. Please send any tips and recommendations...especially on restaurants and flea markets :)

Here are some shots of the gorgeous hotel where we will be staying, Le Meurice. Thanks to Jetsetter, we got this palatial hotel for half off! My husband and I were lucky enough to stay here during our honeymoon and it was beyond luxe. It has since undergone an interior transformation led by Philippe Starck, so I can't wait to see how it's been updated.

The hotel is located near the Louvre and is directly across from les Tuileries.

I love French interiors...so elegant and chic without trying too hard.

Marble heaven.

These are views from one of the AMAZING suites...if I win the lottery, I will book it and have a huge party :)

Sacre Coeur in the distance...

The spa...check out the turquoise ceiling!
