Today I found myself trawling through my Paris photos, and I felt these shots warranted another 'Tiny Tales' post.
Odette cafe on 77 Rue Galande has to be one of the most gorgeous buildings in Paris. Before my trip, I made a mental note to pop into the area to see the building and maybe even grab a choux pastry (but who am I kidding, of course I wouldn't visit without one).
It came as a surprise, then, that the day in which I ended up visiting Odette was totally unplanned. It was a Sunday morning and, being used to having cafes open at 8am back home, mum and I made the mistake of waking up too early and then wandering the streets for ages in pursuit of a warm drink. It was luck that we stumbled upon Odette on the dot of opening. We took refuge in the warm cafe on the second floor and ordered two delectable and delicate violet choux balls alongside a cafe au lait for mum and chocolate chaud for me.
It was such a pleasant morning that stands out in my mind so clearly. The sun was shining, despite still being cold, and I delighted in sitting next to a little window that happens to give stunning views of Notre Dame. Evidently, the high price you pay for the choux pastries and drinks are probably influenced by said views, but in my opinion, it was 100% worth the experience.
Yay, I was excited to see another tiny tales from you! It's really nice to be able to read little snippets of your trip like this, I've been getting a bit bored of reading 'travel stories' from a lot of bloggers who just take pictures of the main things to see and barely write anything about how they felt, what it all meant to them. I feel as though they're approaching their life/travels as 'blog content' instead of 'experiences'. You seem so genuinely connected with your experiences, it's really refreshing! x
I'm so happy you think so, Emily, because when I first started to consider posting about my travels, the idea of posting all my photos and experiences in one big post overwhelmed me. I wanted to adequately reflect on and reminisce about each experience, and breaking it down into 'Tiny Tales' seemed a nice way to go about it.
I was actually hesitant to continue on posting my 'Tiny Tales' series, as the trip is about 4 months in the past now. But posting this reminded me how much I enjoy looking back on my trip, so there will surely be more to come!
