Parisian Babymoon

It's been over a month since my Valentine's babymoon in Paris so I thought I would share some snaps we took while away.  

Although we arrived in Paris on Valentine's Day, I can't say I found the city to be as romantic as everyone tells me it is.  In fact, I failed to see where much of the city lived up to the hype but in saying that I still loved it and would definitely visit again.  We stayed in Le Marais district where we had a playing ground of cool shops, bars and restaurants.  I would definitely recommend this area to anyone visiting. 

The weekend became a bit of a tick box exercise at times as we had so little time to spend there but wanted to see and do so much.  Of course, I had time for a french pharmacy haul but I may need to divulge the contents of that haul in another post. 

For now, I will leave you with some of our photos, which for the record have been massively pared down as we took so many.  It was just fantastic to fit in one last city break before the baby gets here, especially to a city we hadn't seen together.

Babymoon booked!

We like our holidays and we especially love out city breaks.  With a baby on the way, we are ready for our world to be turned upside down and that will probably mean we won't be able to travel as much as we'd like.

With the third trimester just around the corner, my husband and I decided to book a baby moon :)

Coincidentally falling on valentine's weekend, we have booked to go to Paris.  We have never been before and it really is a city I would prefer to visit as a couple before baby arrives.

I have always wanted to go and especially can't wait to hit up some French pharmacies for stocking up on skincare! I also hope to pick up some inspiration for our baby nursery which is already taking on a slight French vibe.

For those who have already visited this gorgeous city, I would love it if you could give me your recommendations for must sees, places to go.  I already have the usual site seeing on the list but I am sure you all have some hidden gems I should know about!
