Paris is filled with tourists taking advantage of the unseasonably sunny April - it's typically pouring with rain - and school holidays. A group of American kids are pictured taking a break on the Champs Elysees.
My husband and I are off for a short break in Montreuil-sur-mer in Northern France. This charming walled city was once an important port. Victor Hugo lived here and made Montreuil the setting for his novel Les Miserables. Every year, Hugo's play is staged at a local festival. Napoleon also spent time at Montreuil, during the Boulogne Camp.
Bien sur, I'll feel compelled to visit two rather wonderful antiques shops (where last trip I found delightful treasures). But we'll be back in time to meet our dear friends Ralf and Jutta for dinner Saturday. We can hardly wait to see them and hear more about life in Budapest!
I have prepared posts in advance, which, all being well, will appear at Paris Parfait during my absence.
Farewell Tara! Have a fine time! see ya when you get back!xo

Enjoy the break. We're having unseasonably warm weather here, too, in Massachusetts.

Wishing you a happy spring break of your own! Thank you for being so organized - and thoughtful - giving us posts to read while you're gone (I would definitely miss my daily serving of Paris Parfait :)
Enjoy!
XOXO
