As requested by many of you, the golden shades of autumn in Paris, with new views and old favorites. It truly is one of the most lovely times here. Highly recommended for a slower pace, gentle walks, and glorious scenes. Best locations are Jardin du Luxembourg, the Tuileries, Montmartre, all along the Seine and the outlying parks. Hope to see you here! 🍁🍂

Bonjour! Sumptuous ceiling details and chandeliers from our Journées du Patrimoine (@jepofficiel) visits this year. We’re so happy to share them as most visitors to Paris may never have the opportunity to view these historical monuments, which are only open to the public two days each year during the Heritage Days every September.

#1 and #2 Painted ceiling detail in the ballroom, Hôtel de Clermont

#3 through #9 Various reception rooms, Assemblée Nationale

#10 through #12 Stunning reception room and grand escalier, Hôtel de Béhague, Romanian Embassy

If you’ve enjoyed these, please let us know as we have many JEP photos from many years that we’d love to share! See more @aparisianmoment

Summer’s last golden light at the Medici Fountain. Now that we are well and truly in the autumn season, I thought you might like one last look at the sherbet-flowered urns that graced the fountain in Jardin du Luxembourg this summer. To capture the moment, a few days ago I arrived as the park opened, the morning light gilding the rippling water under the canopy of trees. I’m so glad that I did as the weather has abruptly turned autumnal with heavy rain this evening. But it held off throughout this Heritage Days weekend, one of our favorites in the Parisian calendar. Both days we visited remarkable properties that are normally closed to the public. We’ll share in the days to come all these many more reasons to keep falling in love with Paris. Wishing you a beautiful new week.

Favorite views from my favorite time of year at Jardin du Luxembourg, when the urns are overflowing with magenta blooms and the oleanders add their dollops of pink, creating a second spring. They can be enjoyed for a few more weeks before being replaced with the annual autumn-themed florals. I hope you are all well and that the week ahead is positive and joyful. 💕 Love from Paris xx

Bonjour, mes chers amis! Well, it’s been quite a week. Have been watching several races right from the balcony. 😎 I’m sure you’re getting plenty of amazing coverage that I can’t improve upon so here’s a petite pause in the form of beautiful white roses. Breathe deeply ☺️ And another week to come! 🇫🇷🎉🥇🏇🏊‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️
