{this pretty artwork is shining back at me from my desktop at the moment. you can get your own free here!}

Michael and I are happily relaxing in a very chic apartment in Paris until Wednesday. This is our second trip to Paris since I moved to Ireland, and we’ve come both times in December. It is chilly, but it’s also incredibly romantic to stroll around, all wrapped up in scarves and hats, and then stop for lots of hot chocolate and cafe au lait!

Since we booked our flights a few months ago, I’ve been soaking up all the Paris I can get from around the internet and I thought I’d share some of my favorite sites with you today. Enjoy!

Little Brown Pen. Nichole’s lovely photos of Paris capture its essence perfectly. It’s great for a daydream or several!

Oh Happy Day! Jordan, her husband and her two boys moved to Paris for a year. I’ve loved following their adventures and adjustments through their travels.

Hip Paris. We love Hip Paris – everything you need to know about where to stay, where to go, sights to see and the best food to eat.

Lost in Cheeseland. Lindsey met a Frenchman, fell in love, and moved to Paris. She chronicles her move on her lovely blog. Oh, and she wrote the nicest post on the art of the Parisian stroll. We’re working on it as you read this!

Pret-a-Voyager. This site has, by far, the most thorough guide to Paris.  It includes a guide organised by arrondissement – by people who’ve actually lived in each of them. The guide to Saint Germain de Pres gave us a good sense of what we were in for before we even arrived.

Any other Paris guides I’m missing? For daydreams or otherwise?
