I hadn't had much time to plan for the trip... stop work, girls settled into their grandparents home for the 2 1/2 weeks we were away.. throw some gear into the suitcase and hop onto the plane.
I love long flights ... the opportunity to do nothing, eat and drink, watch a movie, have a snooze - no washing up, no domestic duties - it really is true bliss.
We had three nights in Paris - which meant I needed a focused plan of eating as many gourmet delights as possible and of course checking out Julia's favourite places - it was a pilgrimage to Julia in Paris! It was so exciting I thought that I would burst!
The say a picture is worth a thousand words... so here is a photo essay of my time in Paris...
 |
| First meal in Paris - no better way to start than having organic escargots from a market right by the Louvre. |
 |
| A favourite cookery equipment shop of Julia's - the E.Dehillerin |
 Wrapping up the trussing needle - best I don't pack this on carry luggage |
 |
| A poster of Julia - still in the shop today |
 |
| Luckily I travelled light to fit in the copper pots! |
 |
| Soup A L'oignon |
 |
| Pig trotters - hmm... probably the first and last time I have that. |
 |
| It's a hard life! |
