Totally fell in love with today’s lunch spot! A centuries-old café with creaky wooden floors, and the aroma of spicy mulled wine wafting through the dining room, it’s tucked in a village of the sprawling Burgundy countryside. We finished with a plate of cheeses I’d never heard of before, like ‘Epoisses’, apparently first made by Cistercian monks in the 16th century👌#onlyinfrance #amazingfrance #burgundy #details #nofilter

Found this beautiful café near the Canal Saint Martin, called #AMA (47 rue du Faubourg du temple). I can’t find a website or Instagram account for it, but it’s stunning. It serves up good vibes and tasty vegan food that makes you feel energised, in stylish Morocco-meets-Ibiza style surroundings - and I’m obsessed! Even their cucumber toast is delicious (really)! 🙏🌿 #theparisilove * * * #seemyparis #thisisparis #veggie #vegan #green #healthy #healthyfood #foodie #details #goals #zen #vegetables #nature #naturelover #urbanjungle #parisienne #parislife #sundayinparis #citylife #parismaville #igersparis #design #restaurant #foodie #instagood

Totally obsessed with this place in my hood... It's been here for 2 years, but I'd forbidden myself to step inside until today. I knew I'd want to buy all the delicate framed flower compositions... Sooo, I bought this beautiful piece, which I'll show you once I've unwrapped it - the box is so beautiful that I don't want to rip it open just yet! 🍁🍁🍁 #sundaychill #naturetherapy #feelgood @herbarium * * * #artislife #goodvibes #theparisilove #batignolles #paris17 #lovelife #naturelover #nature #green #natureisbeautiful #sunnyday #sundayvibes #hygge #flowers #pressedflowersart #peace #natureonyourwalls #herbarium

What it must have been like to stroll these gardens alone when they were absolutely still and empty of tourists... Never noticed it before, but loving this South Floridian Art Deco vibe in the heart of Marrakesh! #beingyves #mondayblues #marrakech * * * #nature #naturelovers #majorelle #artdeco #ysl #latergram #throwback #yvessaintlaurent #museum #travel #traveldeeper #explore #instago #travelgram #instatravel #blue #iamatraveler #oasis #takemeback #floridavibes #welcometomiami #summervibes #brungbacksummer #artdeco #thisismarrakech

New hotel alert! The @brachparis designed by @starck comes with a rooftop terrace - and a *killer* view✨#thisisparis #brach #newhotel #luxury #starck #igersparis #picoftheday #eiffeltower #parisjetaime #paris🇫🇷 #parislife #parismaville #ig_paris #hoteljunkie #parishotel #parisguide #beautifulparis #visitparis #parismonamour #loves_paris #instaparis

A place without a cookie-cutter hipster aesthetic and with a whole lotta great food rustled up with farm-fresh produce, just as your French grandma would make it. Tried this little tucked-away bistro last weekend for brunch and it was fabulous. Runny cheese, homemade bread and jams, cake, eggs, fish, yoghurt, juice, bottomless tea (what more could you ask for?!) for 26 eur. Hard to beat. And it was topped off with a warm welcome from the owners, who naturally radiate joy and have a genuine desire for their hungry customers to feel right at home🤣 #loveit #newfavourite . . . #foodie #thisisparis #paris17 #therealparis #bistrolove #instaparis #instagood #parisjetaime #seulementparis #seemyparis #picoftheday #parismaville #igersparis #ig_paris #visitparis

After an epic walk east today, I was rewarded with this geisha piece by the Irish artist @findac, which I’ve been wanting to find - definitely one or my favourites in the city and I love that the window is the geisha's red lantern👌#yeah • • • streetart #findac #madamebutterfly #picoftheday #igersparis #urbanjungle #urbanart #pantinlove #ig_paris #parismville #citylife #passionpassport #artislife #exploremore #iamatraveler #thisisparis #instaparis #keepitreal

Another beautiful leafy courtyard hidden behind a nondescript door off Boulevard Barbès - another reminder of the secrets this city keeps disclosing when you least expect it! #thisisparis #friday * * * #parisjetaime #picoftheday #igersparis #ig_paris #passionpassport #instaparis #seemyparis #tgif #paris18 #magic #parismaville #urbanjungle #naturelovers #nature

It's been here for a while, but I only just discovered this fabulously atmospheric bar, and it might just be my new favourite place! The @barabullesparis is tucked in an alleyway and up behind the Moulin Rouge's rotating sails. Love its time-worn shabby chic Disney-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland interiors - think low-hanging lighting with pleated velvet lampshades, chequered floors, large posters advertising shows from the Moulin's heyday, and plenty of plant life creeping along the flaking walls...two big terraces with fairy lights, and throw in some of that century-old soul, and you've got a winner!

I’d love to be here again today, watching the trees of the forest sway in the breeze! #bankholiday #mood #thankyoufrance • • • #wednesday #picoftheday #lebarn #newhotel #wellbeing #atonewithnature #lovelife #feelinggood trees #blueskies #earthspirit #staycation #summerinparis #iamatraveller #traveldeeper #nature #naturelover #igfrance #visitfrance #countrylife #thisisit #fromwhereistand #ihavethisthingwithtrees

Feeling lazy today! Loving the simple shaker style interiors and restful palette of warm earthy colours here... It's so tempting to just stay cooped up in bed all day with a cup of tea and a good book, and watch the sunlight dance over the meadows outside! 😌🍃 #weekendbliss #nature #backtothebasics

What peace looks like... 😇 Even if Paris has emptied a little with most people going away on holiday, there's nothing like being at one with nature! Less than an hour from Paris, in the Rambouillet Forest, these open spaces, powder blue skies and soft haired horses out in golden meadows are the view for the next couple of days!👌🙏🌿🌿@lebarnhotel #breathe #staycation #feelinggrateful . . . #getoutside #countrylife #visitfrance #1hourfromparis #lifestylechange #naturelover #leavemehere #nature_photo #lebarn #newhotel #horsepower #treesarelife #weekendtime #relax #reset #rewind #france #visitfrance #likeforlike #beautifulfrance #traveldeeper #countrysidelife #newluxury #frenchliving #instago #instatravel #travelinspo

Urban jungle living. Hats off to the @bigmammagroup for running such a huge operation at La Felicità so smoothly, and for the reasonably priced menu - oh, and for the to-die-for mozzarella✌️#lafelicita #whosyourmama #stationf . . . #picoftheday #latergram #parismaville #seulementparis #instafood #igersparis #seemyparis #thisisparis #parislife #paris13 #foodie #summerinparis #pizzalove #trufflepasta #urbanjungle #urbanjunglelovers #urbannature #instaparis

This spot is worth every slippery step along the steep gravel path. Tucked away beyond the sun-beaten craggy hills of La Vesse calanque, is one of a dozen secret beaches... Here, the crystal clear waters are fresh and the air is still, with only the occasional crunch of footsteps on pebbles and the sound of the waves gently licking the shore👌 #beautifulfrance #breathe . . . #picoftheday #igersfrance #france #france_photolovers #visitfrance #traveldeeper #instago #instatravel #instadaily #ig_france #relax #summerinfrance #summervibes #nature #naturelover #green #nature_lovers #holidayvibes #beachbum #latergram #takemeback #vacaymode #secretfrance #travelmore #sea #marseille #keepitreal #dream

Empire state of mind. Who said NY living was all go, go, go?✌️Brooklyn was one of my favourite places in the city for its calm. I hopped over for an assignment for @glamourparis (more on that in October!) and it was a lot of fun. It had been such a long time since I was last there - the Twin Towers were still standing... Such a great experience, even if very short #chilling #latergram . . . #newyork #travelinspo #greenpoint #brooklyn #newyork_ig #manhattan #bigapple #newyorkstyle #travelholic #bestview #cityscape #viewpoint #nyc #thisisnewyork #empirestatebuilding #picoftheday #travel #traveldeeper #sunshine #visitnewyork #view #passionpassport #igersnewyork #newyorkcity #citylife #break #breathe #bikinibody

I hadn't been back in a while, but this spot is still one of my favourites - the creamy truffle, walnut and raisin rigatoni dish was an absolute dream (and I'm not the biggest raisin fan)👌👌 It's just a shame that we were suddenly told to vacate the table as we were tucking into rich chocolate mousse that deserved more than the minute our waitor gave us! WTF, @daroco_paris?! We still had a brilliant time though - à refaire @katematthams 💯❤️ . . . #slickstuff #instagood #picoftheday #designporn #igersparis #thisisparis #seemyparis #parismaville #seulementparis #visitparis #daroco #parisfoodie #doitlikealocal #parislife #latergram #unlimitedparis #parislove #passionpassport #parisjetaime #parismonamour #instafood #topparisphoto #summerinparis #parisguide #parisgram #travelgram #designlovers #interiors #instaparis #visitfrance

This time last week, I woke up to this... Needless to say that my jaw almost hit the floor when I first laid eyes on this view. It was my first time in Greece outside of Athens (favourite city, ever), and I fell hard for this often overlooked peninsula. The azure waters, pine forests, but also the food and the people are wonderful - and on the way back, our taxi driver treated us to the best souvlaki I've ever tasted... I can't wait to go back ❤️ #nofilter . . . #priceless #lovelife #saniclub #saniresort #greece #visitgreece #beatifulgreece #instago #greece_is_awesome #latergram #natureporn #naturelover

Sittin' on the dock of the bay💦 We'd just finished putting up an arch made of branches and flowers for our friends' wedding and managed to get this quick snap in before the ceremony✌️Had such a wonderful time #beautifulfrance . . . #holidayvibes #beautifulwedding #magical #lakeviews #nature #naturelovers #aquitaine #picoftheday #instatravel #topfrancephoto #igersfrance #ig_france #france #beachlife #likesforlike #traveldeeper #passionpassport #visitfrance #lovelife #sunnydays #morninginspo #sunnydays #summervibes #wanderlust #travelinspo #francetravellers #francetravel #happy #happiness
