I just got back from spending the holidays back home with my family in France. It was a few jam-packed days of catch-up time with family, complete with some good eats and visits of some of the neighbourhoods I miss the most when I’m away. Take a peek at some of my favourite moments in Paris! I’m now back in Toronto, looking out onto a snow-kissed city, completely and utterly jet-lagged!
