Bonjour + Happy Weekend
We made it! We've been settling into our apartment in Montemarte this week and have started exploring the neighborhood. My first impressions this time around: It's cold, everything is charming, and banana nutella crepes are so good. This week we've been doing boring things like getting bank accounts, cell phones, and metro passes. We even started looking for apartments. We have a few good leads so I'm feeling hopeful. Once that is off our plate I'll feel like I can enjoy everything more. Have a happy weekend! I'll be back next week with more reports. A special thanks to all my guest bloggers!

How exciting. Welcome to Europe! You should try out the amazing African Hotchocolate at Angelina's - that will warm you up!
ReplyDeleteso very, very exciting!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on your big move! Not a bad place to live:) I know how hard it was for me to move to Europe--I can't imagine doing it with two kids. How very exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Can't wait to hear of your exciting adventures in Paris.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience! It's so refreshing to see someone follow their dream!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your French adventure. Can't wait to read about it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you've arrived safely. I look forward to the reports from Paris and I hope you find a nice apartment.
ReplyDeleteOh - and it'll get warmer - just think Springtime in Paris.
How exciting!!! Love the picture :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! Can't wait to read about your adventures! Oh, how I long for a crepe!
ReplyDeletei might be potentially moving with my husband to a foreign country , and honestly am a bit scared (but excited). would you be willing to talk (email) about the process with me?
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I'm loving reading along on your big adventure(s). All the best for the year ahead! x
ReplyDeleteOoooooo! So exciting. My husband and I rented a flat for a week on Montmartre, just below Sacre Coeur. It made for a breathtaking night light out our window! Even if you don't end up renting there, make sure you take it all in. It was lovely.
ReplyDeletehi! I'm new to your blog! why did you move to paris? good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteyay! i love montmartre. such a charming neighborhood.
ReplyDeletei'm totally going to be living vicariously through you for the next year.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this part of your life with us!
Love that picture, Jordan. Sounds like everything is good - that is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJordan--congrats on the move and will eagerly follow your discoveries as well as all the helpful suggestions that come out in the comments area.
ReplyDeleteI'm also eagerly following your sister, Design Mom. What a fabulous shared experience to have a sisters!
Having so much fun vicariously already!
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear you are settling in nicely & in such a fun location. even the mundane errands are a thrill in paris. ...mmm, nutella. :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT! Glad you made it safe and sound. Montematre is so Parisian (well what we Americans like to picture it as). Not really a family area. I hope you settle in and find an appartment soon. Most Americans settle in the 7eme or 6eme. We chose the 3eme (Le Marais) it's more Bohemian.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you! I can't wait to hear your stories in Europe.
ReplyDeleteLiving abroad is such a great experience. Difficult at moments but very enjoyable. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. Montmartre is probably the most charming place in the world.
ReplyDeleteI cannot start to imagine how amazing your adventure will be! I so envy you and wish you all the best in Paris. I lived there for 5 years and can't seem to forget/stop wanting to go back :)
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and LOVE it..and OMG your in Paris!!!I've obsessing over Paris lately and am hoping to go back this year. Had to do an itty bitty post about your blog on my itty bitty blog. Look forward to reading more about your adventure in Paris.

ReplyDeleteThank you because you brought here the California's sunshine !!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteGet out the grey, welcome the blue !
I love the photo. Bienvenue! How wonderful it is to move at the same time as your sister. I was lucky enough to move to Paris at the same time as my best friend by total coincidence. It made exploring the city so much fun in the beginning. Now I have kids and I get to do it with them too.
ReplyDeleteAh Basillica Sacre Coeur! My favorite Cathedral in the whole world. You are so lucky to be in Paris. Enjoy!
