April in Paris

I know April is almost over but I just had take note that finally Spring has sprung! I live for the sun and days spent enjoying family time outside. The smell of a freshly cut lawn, bright bouquets of daffodils, tulips, birds happily soaring, the Prosseco popping.....lovely.

When I think of spring, I also think Paris. A beautiful season to be in one of the most beautiful cities. I recently heard that the famous Hotel Ritz Paris is undergoing a two year renovation and a bit of a face lift. The prestigious & palatial hotel was founded in 1898 by Cesar Ritz and was reportedly the first hotel in Europe to have a bathroom en suite, a telephone & electricity for each room. Many famous guests have been linked to hotel such as Coco Chanel and Ernest Hemingway.

As the jet set holds it's breath in hopes that not too much is changed, I found these amazing photos recently taken of Kate Moss in this most elegant of hotels. May the Ritz live long and stay true.

What is your favorite place to visit in Spring?

Have fun in the Sun!
