// Fun afternoon spent here yesterday. And just look at the *gezellig* scene that awaits you when you come through the gate. So much fun laughing and carrying on with girlfriends in a pretty setting… before we knew it it was dark outside and the twinkle lights were on. ✨🌘

// A fun evening at @galerieslafayette at the French Touch Festival the other day. It was a celebration of French creativity, including @ysl makeup tutorials… with a view. 🤩 Oh, and something else to celebrate… the new wellness space inside the department store. You can literally shop til you drop then go get pampered back into shape. 😉 Looking forward to checking it out at la rentrée. 🧖🏼‍♀️

// Let’s not talk about the amount of creative direction this photo took. 😆 P and I are lucky we didn’t get completely cropped ✂️ out. I have to post it, though, to commemorate our lovely Marais stroll on a sunny autumn day last week. 🍁🍁🍁 #fob_julia #fob_4wheels

// Breathing in the new and out the old 🧘🏼‍♀️🌷 as I begin my time on the “4ème étage” 🎂 (4th floor) as it keeps being called here. Springtime, just like birthdays, reminds us of how we can constantly be reborn and reinvent ourselves. Not only can we, but we must; it is the natural order of things. My thoughts reflecting on this new decade I’ve stepped into revolve around who that person shall be. It’s frightening and invigorating all at once. 💫 I’m not one to get fussy about ages, but I do find milestones help keep a sense of urgency to life. We all want to make our mark, don’t we?

Couldn’t be happier than to share it all with this little person who helps me see things anew, and whom I want to make proud, every day. 💙🎂 #fob_julia #fallingoffbicycles #fob_spring

// Not enough people have called me out on not talking about @letourdefrance. 🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️ Who’s been watching? I’ve been a bit busy with other things lately, but now that I’m settled in the States for a bit I can now properly pine for the French countryside 😆🚲 like I always do when I watch.

It has me thinking back to my own little Tour de France - or, rather, a little part of it, two years ago when I cycled through @les_yvelines. Such beautiful scenery as we rode then stopped at lovely accommodations, such as @lagrangedelaguesle in the evenings. When I say I’m fed up with Paris it’s usually because I’ve been deprived too long of scenes like these, and yet they’re not far outside the capital. 🤩

See my IG story for the post (with lots of photos) on our three-day ride through this pretty region. 🚲

// A few years ago I went to a wedding in the town of Chardonnay. 🍇 Only a short train ride from Dijon, and yet the Dijonnais I was staying with didn’t even know there was such a town. Not only does it exist, this is how charming it is. 🍁🍂🍁

// Ever in awe of the Parisian gardens. And slightly jealous of the gardeners who spend their days tending to them. 👩🏼‍🌾 Did you know there are sometimes even goats 🌱🐐 that do their own tending to the gardens? It’s highly entertaining. 😆
