We wrapped up a week in Provence with two nights in Paris. It’s one of those rare cities that never, ever fails to live up to your expectations. It really is a magical place.
More vacation recap to come, but first, I’m going to eat a bowl of cereal and have a nap.

Au revoir! We’re off on a jetplane at an ungodly hour to the Luberon area of France. I’m going to eat a lot and frolic through the lavender fields, which are currently in season.
Then, after a week of frolicking, we’re spending two days in Paris. I’m going to eat ALL THE PASTRIES.
I plan on returning to Berlin smelling like lavender with a hint of butter.
Clearly, the universe is telling me that adding two days in Paris to the end of our vacation was a most excellent idea.
More to add to my list.
File under: Extremely relevant to my future plans.
Our vacation is planned. You’ll find us on the edge of a little town in the Luberon region in Provence in a little hilltop town with a bread museum. That’s right. A museum dedicated to bread. We’ve rented a little house. With a pool. And a play set for Luisa. Surrounded by lavender fields.
Then we take the train to Paris for two days where I plan on visiting at least two of Ms. Greenspan’s favourite spots before getting back on a plane to Berlin.
I’ve said it before: I live a charmed life.
Day 21: A favourite photo of you.

Do you know this stuff? It’s bubble bath by Compagnie de Provence and it’s AMAZING.
I bought a bottle when we were in Paris last year and it is hands down the best bubble bath I’ve ever used. The smell is amazing — though if rose isn’t your thing, they’ve definitely got variety — and it stays with you in the most perfectly subtle way.
The best part? The bubbles. They are straight out of Hollywood.
The worst part? While you can order it online, their store locations only shows shops in France. We were lucky to be staying near one of their only two shops in Paris and that I recognized the brand from staying at a friend’s house. I can highly recommend this as a bring-it-home-for-the-plant-sitter gift — as long as you pick up a bottle for yourself.

Today’s topic for the pic pick: Mid-Air.
I know I’ve posted this one before on my tumblr, but this is easily my favourite jump.
