Well Paris turned out to be a little bit of a nightmare... stolen camera, too much snow, no Eurostar so stuck in Paris, then stuck in Antwerp, nearly not home for Christmas and so amidst all the mayhem there wasn't much opportunity for fabulous photo taking.
So here's a selection from the world wide web that should hopefully provide some whimsical, wondrous, Parisian magic...(and there's no snow in sight).

oh macaroons and pastries in general... there is no substitute for the way they melt in your mouth...

Chanel, Chanel, if only you were more affordable.
