Even though it’s close to all these other places tourists love (the Louvre, Notre-Dame, etc) it was actually very quiet when we visited.

Mostly Wordless Wednesday – Visiting Victor Hugo, Place des Vosges

Please feel free to skip through the words if you want to enjoy a real Wordless Wednesday experience; revisiting our trip in Paris makes it difficult to keep my fingers tied up! The small apartment we rented for our three weeks stay in Paris was a corner away from Place des Vosges, yet Victor Hugo’s place, which I really wanted to see, was one of our very last stops. By that time, we were exhausted from constantly running from one...
