I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream 🎶

A favorite shot from one of the dreamiest locations for wisteria (seriously, if IG had a scratch and sniff button I would be using it here). If you’ve never visited the Grande Mosquée de Paris, put it on your list (and don’t forget to pop by their tea room for delicious Moroccan-style tea and pastries) 💜

For some reason, looking at this picture just now

For some reason, looking at this picture just now and thinking about a caption, the first thought that went through my head was “the curtain doesn’t quite match the drapes”... not quite the right usage for this situation (despite my dress not being the right shade of purple) 😅 anyways here’s Wonderwall* 💜

*wonderwall here being this marvelous wall of wisteria on the façade of Au Vieux Paris d’Arcole (which actually has good food, as I discovered after dragging a former boyfriend there one Valentine’s Day)

For anyone who’s ever shot with me, you’ll know I do anything to make my subjects laugh when I’m behind the camera, because photos always turn out more natural when doing something real or spontaneous. Case in point: this photo, taken after doing a silly little dance while waiting for the lady loading her car on the left to move out of frame. I started laughing for real, @sophieannenadeau snapped, and it turned out to be my favorite shot under this canopy of cherry blossoms 🌸

Turns out it’s actually more difficult than it looks to skip whimsically down a staircase while looking cute and also while looking up so my arms are flung out for balance more than aesthetic 😂 wisteria is such a short lived flower but I’m glad I had the chance to visit the Grande Mosquée twice this year! Plus, it smells divine- have you ever smelled it? 💜

“Alexa, play ‘Purple Rain’” 💜 #wisteria

“Alexa, play ‘Purple Rain’” 💜 #wisteriahysteria has officially arrived in Paris! They’re early this year, so I guess my feed will be both pink and purple for awhile. Are you team cherry blossoms or team wisteria?

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
