The beginning of my ongoing love affair with France began in Paris. Mr. Splendid and I used to love staying on the Île Saint Louis, a quaint little neighborhood, on a natural island, right in the middle of Paris. If you happen to be traveling to La Ville Lumiere this summer I highly recommend you look into staying at one of these charming boutique hotels, Jeu de Paume {originally a tennis court for the royals built in the 17th century}, or Deux Iles, a former mansion also built in the 1600’s. Or, at least stroll over there one night to see the lights of Notre Dame on the neighboring Île de la Cité and have the very best ice cream cone in town at Berthillon.

Emily everything here looks absolutely delish! Love the pics, the illustrations, and the art of these gourmet delights!
