Since our wee break to Paris is now officially AGES ago here are a few final photos…
I love the chairs in the Tuileries garden. Would quite like some for my own garden. Do you think I could smuggle some back on the Eurostar? Oui?
The beautiful canals with their arching bridges. I’ve never forgotten the glorious scene from Amelie of her skimming stones. (If you need to refresh your memory you can watch it here.)
The cafe at the top of the Musee d’Orsay is well worth a visit just to look at the way they’ve designed the space. And for the cake, obvs.
I really want to go back to Paris as soon as possible, but in more immediate plans we’re off to Stockholm next weekend! Wahoo. Any hints or tips of places to visit will be gladly received. Have you been to Stockholm? Where do you recommend?

Er – amaze. I love the lock picture. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amelie – fave film of all time! I can’t believe I didn’t go to the lock when I was in Paris last summer. It’s a city that would take a lifetime to discover properly!
Hi, yes, I’ve been to Stockholm, go to the Skansen museum, park with animals and old traditional Swedish houses & the Vasa museum. I wasn’t too sure about it and loved it. I especially recommend the free guided visit in your native language (I took the one in French). Book your tickets in advance for the Wasa museum, the queue was so huge! Last but not least, just walk around the old town and along the river, I loved it, and the language too. But it’s soooo expensive! I did couchsurfing there.
What really disappointed me was one of the so-called trendy area mentionned in Millenium (I can’t remember the name). There’s a mini free Millenium exhibition in the town museum that you’ll like if you’re a fan, like me. Kalo taxidi! Bon voyage! If anyone wants Swedish lessons in London contact me.
I always come across the canals randomly and without intending to visit them. But they are gorgeous and always remind me of Amelie. Absolutely one of my favourite films too! x C
