A Francophile Holiday Gift Guide

Oh the frenzy of the season! I try my best not to stress out because this is a time that is supposed to be filled with joy! and shouldn't result in our having a nervous break down, not to mention our bank accounts completely drained. But at the same time, there is something special about giving a gift to someone and seeing their face when it's something they really like...I've definitely seen the face of a gift received that was not liked. ha! So here's my little contribution to those who are looking to gift something to a French-loving friend or family member. None of these are affiliate links, but are things that I may have owned already or just simply love. And remember, your friends and family love you. Sometimes a home cooked meal or heart-felt letter will do just fine. Happy holidays, everyone. Bisous.

Coffee in Paris: Hexagone Café


Hexagone Café is a specialty coffee shop and a torréfacteur (coffee roaster). I walked to Hexagone by myself (a super special treat) on a Sunday.  The coffee was good, but honestly my favorite thing about the experience was that it was open!  Most of Paris seems to shut down on Sundays.
