Paris - Mon amour

Who doesn't love Paris?  For me it's one of those cities you can just keep on visiting.  And living in London and having the convenience of the Eurostar makes it all the more appealing.  Last weekend we went to Paris to attend a friend's birthday party and got to see Paris through the eyes of a local.  It's amazing what you notice and what areas you end up exploring.  We spent most of our time in the 4th and 12th arrondissements (Hôtel-de-Ville and Reuilly) and they had so much to offer in the way of food, shopping and exploring.  Below are just a few of the pictures I took in these two areas.
