Lately we’ve been spending most of our time discovering the area closest to us, where we live. Morning walks to Père-Lachaise, saying hello to Marcel and Edith. Admiring thick heavy doors leading into death, spotting stray cats asleep between the tombs. Then we stroll up and down the hills of Belleville, becoming tired, quite dizzy by all the places one wants to remember. Small thrift stores with shelves full of dreams, boxes with buttons meant for tailored coats. In a diary somewhere, I hide my thoughts.
Amazing pictures <3
love the pink doors
din blogg är så vacker!
this almost looks like a little town, rather than a bustling metropolis. have you ever been to the montparnasse cemetery? it’s very lovely too.
Gorgeous photos – love Pere LeChaise.
I love Pere Lechaise, and the area surrounding it. You are so lucky! xx
I lived on Rue Mouffetard for one year, two years ago. Every picture that you post and description of your days make me miss it even more. than I already did. Keep posting more!

I adore your pictures !
you pay such great attention to the small details. it’s very admirable!
Hei. Så fint du har det. Det virker annerledes, spennende, og stille. Kanskje man kan puste ut der? Jeg stresset meg gjennom Paris på en tur i fjor, skulle rekke for mye og hadde for liten tid. Det må føles fantastisk å kunne få med seg alt man har lyst til å gjøre, og det uten å tenke på tiden.
Your photographs make me miss Paris soooo much !!!
Hi, I’ve recently stumbled upon your blog and I had to dig through all your older posts. All your lovely pictures and carefully thought words leave a lot of space to dream in, which I think is why I love your blog

Your beautiful writing compliments your lovely photos. Or, is it the other way around?
I found you by way of The English Muse. So glad I did !
I love Pere-Lachaise and your photographs bring Paris back to me so beautifully. Your Blog is so lovely. Pleased to have found you through English Muse. xx
I definitely have the cemetry on my list for when I visit. And is it Gainsbourg in the other?
I love your picture of Le Père Lachaise, so much character! When I still lived in France I considered writing a post about it. Maybe one day you will do it?
åh, är så avundsjuk, älskar Paris. Hur länge ska ni stanna?
I love your blog so much! Love the way you capture all the sweet details. Your photography made me wanna see Paris even more. Wish I could see Stockholm through your eyes as well.
