RYE

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to present the cutest most typical English village that we discovered unexpectedly while driving on the English coast: RYE.

We drove by, and decided to turn around to see it better and have a little walk there. Best decision ever!

This was just like I imagined a British village to be like. Old little houses and pubs, surrounded by antique stores selling the best items! Paris vintage stores are nothing compared to those.

This was the same day we arrived in England (that explains the same outfit) but I just had to make a separate post for this. If you are looking for a calm and typical place to stay, that’s the one!

Bonjour, bonjour!

Aujourd’hui je me dois de vous présenter le petit village anglais que nous avons découvert par hasard en roulant sur la côte anglaise, et où nous nous sommes arrêté âpres avoir fait demi-tour pour y retourner tellement il était charmant: RYE.

J’adore ces endroits qui sont exactement comme on se l’imagine. Et bien celui-ci est bien le village anglais typique parsemé de maisons en pierres et de pubs anglais. Nous avons également été agréablement surpris par les antiquaires qui valent cent fois plus que ceux de Paris par exemple, où tout est hors de prix. De vrais trésors.

Cette petite visite a donc eu lieu le même jour que notre arrivée en Angleterre (ce qui explique la tenue) mais il fallait que j’écrive quelque chose sur Rye séparément. Si vous cherchez un endroit typique et calme pour passer quelques jours, vous avez trouvé !

ON MY WAY TO ENGLAND

Hi everyone!

Next stop of our trip: England.

For that we decided to drive up to Calais and take the ferry to Dover, way more exciting then travelling with the train. It’s actually quite convenient and quick (and not expensive at all). Of course the car was with us the whole time, which gave us some great liberty, and we could spontaneously decide what do to and when to do it.

We travelled with P&O Ferries which had great service, it was fast and organised. Nothing to say.

We were soooo lucky with the weather which basically turned out to be great the moment our holiday started. :)

Have a look at the photos from our trip between Calais and Dover. So sad it only lasted 40 minutes.

The view of the cliffes when arriving near the English coast is priceless!

Have a great sunday!

PS: I decided to start writting my articles in French as well after seeing the awefull translation of Google Chrome. It’s not what I would call a translation!

Bonjour tout le monde!

Mon premier article en français concerne mon voyage en Angleterre ce qui est quelque peu ironique mais bon, il faut bien commencer quelque part!

Cela faisait longtemps que nous voulions traverser la Manche en bateau, et nous avons décidé d’ajouter la côte anglaise à notre voyages vers la Bretagne.

Donc, nous avons roulé jusqu’à Calais où nous avons embarqué la Mini sur le bateau jusqu’à Douvre. Il faut dire que prendre le bateau est bien plus excitant que de prendre le train surtout quand il faut emmener la voiture aussi. Le trajet est super rapide et pratique et ne coûte pas grand chose. Le fait d’avoir la voiture à disposition permet aussi une grande liberté qui n’est pas négligeable, puisqu’on pouvait décider quoi faire et quand une fois sur place.

Nous avions réservé avec P&O Ferries que je peux hautement recommander : Pas d’attente, très bien organisé et super service à bord. Vraiment rien à dire.

Le temps était également avec nous, grande chance, puisque le soleil a commencé à montrer le bout de son nez depuis le début de nos vacances J

Voici les quelques photos prises pendant le voyage Calais-Douvre. Dommage qu’il n’est duré que 40 minutes.

En tout cas la vue sur les falaises à l’arrivée était superbe !

Bon dimanche à tous !

SUMMER IN PARIS

Hi everyone!

I am back on the blogosphere (finally) after a few days without a computer or internet.

So let’s go on with our 2 week roadtrip through France and England with our second day in Paris.

We were enjoying the hot weather at its fullest and went shopping and walking through the city all after noon long with some great company. We were so happy to run into some great friends and spending the day with them!

We went to “Le marché des enfants rouge” in le Marais, which is a mix of different markets from several nationalities where you can spent a nice sunday eating French food as well as a good morrocan couscous. I really recommend it when you are fed up with the city and need a calm and unexpected place.

Then we enjoyed some coffe in that same area, since everything is open on sundays as well there. You can do some shopping and have a great brunch. Plus it’s very chic. A tad snobish sometimes (well it’s Paris) but very nice.

The only negative thing about this afternoon, was (as always) the unpolite and unfriendly people. They seem to think that smiling and beeing welcoming is overrated. Well it’s not, and it’s really annoying having to change a location just because the waitress pisses you off. I was really disappointed, especially since I am French and this is probably the first thing tourists think as well when they visit this (other than that) wonderfull city. This is still a point to improve :)

Well here are some photos of that day.

Stay tuned for a great change of location tomorrow!

Enjoy your Friday!

Hi everyone!

I feel so relaxed and happy to be on holidays! Here are some pictures of our first day in Paris. We didn’t have time to take as many pictures as I wanted since the day was so busy runing from one place to another one.

We still made some good shopping for things we cannot find in Munich and had a little tour in the greatest Hermès store ever!

The summer also feel to have finally arrived, so…can’t complain! :)

Second day:  Shopping in le Marais, drinks with friends on a terrace and apéro in a parc in the evening. Can’t wait!

See you tomorrow!
