We spent out last three and a half days in France in Paris. I definitely wish we could've spend more time there so that I can take my time and really soak everything in and enjoy more of the non-touristy areas.
One thing I love about Paris is all the brasseries and cafes with outdoor seating. We found people sitting outside and enjoying a meal or a cup of coffee even when it was cold and rainy.

The buildings in Paris have such character, and I love the surprising jolts of color you find just walking around.

france part 2: brittany and the loire valley
We spent the next couple of nights in St. Malo, Brittany - a beautiful, walled medieval town on the water, and then one night in a chateau in the Loire valley.
A stop on the way to St. Malo.
We walked around most of the St. Malo city wall at night. I loved the old town feel.
