Christmas time in Paris!

One of the pluses of living in London is easy access to other amazing European cities–like Paris!  Christmas is a beautiful time in Paris.  We were so fortunate to get to experience it!  We hopped the Eurostar one Friday morning, and by early afternoon we were in Paris!

We took the early train back to London on Monday morning and were back in our desks well before the morning tea break.  Paris, as always, was a beautiful getaway.  We’ll have to do it again soon 🙂
