Wandering Wednesdays

Jardin des Tuileries - French Californian

I adore wandering. If it weren’t for sore feet and basic needs like food and sleep, I’d wander all day long! Since I’m now in charge of the ParisPerfectRentals Instagram account, I have a wonderful excuse to just stroll around Paris looking for beautiful things! This week, I discovered a gorgeous reconstruction of an Art Nouveau hotel inside Musée Carnavalet, and then enjoyed the momentarily good weather at the Tuileries gardens. I even visited the Palais Royal gardens for the first time ever, but I’ll wait until next week to share those photos with you.

Please excuse the low-quality nature of these next photographs, but I thought this Art Nouveau decoration was just too beautiful to not share! It’s a shame that this style lasted for such a short time. No detail has been ignored, every inch of this former hotel is adorned. Feast your eyes – and ignore that dude listening to his audio guide!

The Tuileries garden is green once again!

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.
