Near the Louvre

Every first Sunday of the month, the Louvre opens it’s doors with free admission. A friend and I decided to try it out. However, when we arrived, the line practically wrapped around the building… and the building is HUGE. Instead, we walked to a neighboring bridge and strolled the gardens.

It was a bit chilly that day, so I put on my black tights. I opted for all black, white, and gray – I think I could have passed as a true Parisian. ;)

{Awwww, my boyfriend’s name is Paul!}

{There were multiple fountains like this one}

I'm a Californian in my mid-twenties who studied Art History and lived in France for 3 years. I blog honestly about my travels, share my thoughts on life, and get poetic about art and photography. I also sell prints of my photographs on Etsy.
