Maybe Paris has a way of making people forget. Paris? No. Not this city. It's too real and too beautiful to ever let you forget anything.

My friend Erin has started a blog about her love for the city of Paris.

It is lovely and very informative.
I have never been there so every word, picture and restaurant review slays me.
My #1 Paris dream is do this:

A private perfume tour sounds like a slice of heaven.
If you have been to Paris tell me your favorite memory or place.

I've just dabbed on some Chanel Glossimer in Blizzard. This fits your Parisian theme for the day!
I've only been to Paris once, three years ago with my beau. We had so many favorite places and moments, including the bookstore Shakespeare & Company, the Rue Mouffetard market, Pere Lachaise, Deyrolles, the Musee d'Orsay, and a picnic outside Sacre Coeur on a sunny day.
We found that Paris lives up to, and transcends, all the cliches about its beauty and charm, and I hope to return.
My favorite place in Paris is the old Opera House--it is sooo elegant.
Don't forget to go downstairs, the ballerina costumes are on mannequins on display. If you love design, fashion, ballet--well, anything beautiful, go see the costumes. The handiwork is magnificent.
I'm wearing NARS Gypsy topped w/Aveda Claret gloss.
My favorite place in Paris is a small park in the Marais--Place des Vosges. Beautiful in every season. It is my favorite city in the whole world!
cheers!

I have been to Paris many times in my life. One Christmas I met my husband in the park by the Eiffel Tower and we sat on a bench drinking champagne that he had brought in a backpack with 2 plastic champange glasses. It was very cold out with a hint of snow in the air. It was on that trip that I discovered a little store in les halles called sephora that had an intriging collection of vanilla and cinnamon orange soaps.....could that day over 25 years ago had been the start of an addiction?? hmmm.. today I am wearing the always wonderful Nars Hellfire
I was fortunate enough to have lived in Paris for 5 years. I fell in love and followed a boy to Paris, partly for him, but to also chase the ghosts of a lost generation that stirred my imagination as a teenager.
When my marriage fell apart, I remember walking and crying, grateful to the parisians who left me alone. When I made the decision to return home, I was more or less alone, at the Lourvre with a white blanket of snow as my path. I remember looking up and seeing the shimmering flakes in the street light. It was uncharacteristically quiet and there she was, in all her splendid glory, the Lourvre. The beauty and tragedies, the history and its resilience strengthened my resolve to move on with my life.
It is still my favorite place in Paris.
You have all made me want to go even more!!!!
Thanks for sharing your memories here!
