The last time we visited some family in France, I got the chance to raid a Ladurée store. Now, if ever you are going to Paris, I highly recommend visiting one of their uniquely cute pastry shops. Mind you, they don’t have a huge selection of vegan treats, but the feel of the store isContinue reading “Mathilde, a Ladurée Tea”

Floramama and beautiful organic flowers
In my ideal world, my house would be filled with flowers all year long, in every room, multiple bouquets per room, in all colors, all the time and for no particular reason but to enjoy them. Flowers are so wonderful in their variety and simple elegance. I feel that adding flowers to any room suddenlyContinue reading “Floramama and beautiful organic flowers”
An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park
Summer is definitively in Montreal! The sun was out this morning, the breeze was refreshing, and it was just the perfect day for a picnic. So I put my ginormous pile of need-to-be-corrected exams, and went for a stroll with my boyfriend. We were really excited because today the Marché Fermier was starting again! NearContinue reading “An afternoon in Montreal: Les Jardins d’Ambroisie and strawberries in the park”
Summer is coming!
With the warm weather coming back, I have but one thing on my mind: TRAVEL! Every time I hop in the car or on the bus, I feel like shouting, “To infinity and beyond!” However, as we don’t have any trips planned for this summer, I’m starting to think that exploring our province would beContinue reading “Summer is coming!”
Two Peas in a Pod
This week was our 5 year anniversary. My great boyfriend had made reservations for us at Le Domaine du Diable Vert, which is a wonderful site in the Eastern Townships where you can rent different size cabins and pods. Only two hours away from Montreal, this “mountain resort” is near Sutton. Pods are really funContinue reading “Two Peas in a Pod”

I hope these few pointers will help you out if you are traveling to San Francisco soon. Here they are! First, San Francisco isContinue reading “San Francisco Series: Welcome Back Home!”
San Francisco Series: Day 6
Today, we walked all day! But, as we have learned from our experience, we stayed close to the water and ended up crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. On the way, we stopped at the Wave Organ, but there was not much music going on today. Still, it was a great spot to take a breakContinue reading “San Francisco Series: Day 6”
San Francisco Series: Day 5
Today we took a car and drove on the Golden Gate bridge to Muir Woods. If you are planning to visit the giant trees, make sure to get there early: we were there by 8:15 and easily parked and did not pay the entry fee as the office was not opened yet (a signed saidContinue reading “San Francisco Series: Day 5”
San Francisco Series: Day 4
Today was our first rainy day, and the lazy weather went perfectly well with our lazy mood after yesterday’s walk-o-ton. We started the day with the Exploratorium which was a really fun place, but we felt like this is the kind of museum you really enjoy if you are a kid, or if you haveContinue reading “San Francisco Series: Day 4”
San Francisco Series: Day 3
NO MORE WALKING TODAY!!! We were clearly on a roll after yesterday, but let me tell you that there is no way we will walk as much as today tomorrow! Our day started with what we thought to be a little walk to the Golden Bridge Park. It seemed so close by on the map…Continue reading “San Francisco Series: Day 3”
