Bonsoir from Paris!
You guys, we left DFW last night and have been spending the day in one of my favorite cities.
Why?
Well….
…because one of my very favorite movies of all time ends in January in Paris…and I’ve always wanted to come here then too!
So far, we’ve been here about 13 hours and the weather is amazing, and it’s not nearly as crowded as it is in the summer. I am SUCH a fan of traveling to Europe during the winter!
Here’s a quick recap from today…
…we left DFW on Thursday night. I wore the most comfortable jumpsuit on the flight!!
Eight hours later, we arrived in Paris, checked into our hotel, showered and…
…went to the Louvre! This is how Andrew takes a photo…
…and this is how I take a photo 🙂 . You guys, MY BOOTS are so comfy, waterproof and a great price!
First stop at the Louvre….
…we had to go and visit this lady.
When our time was over at the museum, we enjoyed lunch, did some walking and then, it was time to change for dinner at…
…YESSSSSSSSS!
YOU GUYS! This is the restaurant in Something’s Gotta Give where Jack and Diane meet up at the end of the movie…
…I had to check it out myself!…
…eeeeeeeeks! This was so much fun!
Dinner was delicious!
After dinner…
…we headed to see the Eiffel Tower…
…enjoyed a crepe and wrapped up our very busy day 🙂 .
That wraps up Day One!
I’m off to bed now! I’ll see you tomorrow! xx

Did you get the roast chicken?!?!
Mix and Match Mama says
I was so conflicted over this! I kept going back and forth while I sat there, but ended up with the steak frites instead…which was VERY delicious!
Karleigh Johnson says
Hi Shay! So excited about this post. Where are your white boots and brown jacket from? In the second solo pic of you? Enjoy your trip!
Mix and Match Mama says
I need to go back and add those details! They’re such a good price!
Ashley says
Looks like you’re having a wonderful time! I’m so glad the weather is nice there and it’s less crowded. I’ve actually never seen Something’s Gotta Give, so I’m going to have to put it on my list to watch! I’m so happy for you that you got to go to the same restaurant that’s in the movie, so neat! So many pretty sights to see in Paris! And that crepe looks delicious.
Make Life Marvelous

OMG-this is so fun! I’ve been following you for years and I was so pleasantly surprised that we got some amazing bonus content on a Friday night. I hope you have the BEST time in beautiful Paris! I lived there over a summer so I never got to see it in the winter. I’m sure it’s lovely.
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, Kay! I’m so jealous that you lived here one summer! How fabulous is that?!

Thanks for sharing. I’m a widow and a friend asked me to go to Paris on a Viking tour in July. She hasn’t been and her husband doesn’t want to. Nervous and excited. What’s the weather in July? Thanks again for sharing!
Mix and Match Mama says
My clients LOVE Viking river cruises!! You will have the best time! It will be very warm in July, but I think you’ll have a lovely trip.
Chandra says
Oh my!! I’ll be following your pages lots this coming week! We leave early Feb for a church mission trip to West Africa and on our return we are extending our layover in Paris!! Our first time for France! I know you said the city wasn’t as crowded, but was the wait long to get into the Louvre? We only have 5 days and 2 will be used visiting Normandy beach and the Meusse Argonne cemetery.
Thank you for any help!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
No wait at all! We had purchased tickets in advance, but when we arrived, you could walk right on in.
