30th Birthday - Paris

 The beautiful staircase at our hotel

 sacre coeur

 Yes, it rained a lot

 Rain in the cobbled streets of Montmartre

 View from Montmartre

 Flea market

  

 No trip to Paris would be complete without cake

 An old-fashioned carousel 

 Bead shopping at the flea market

 Keyboard + accordion + lunch + Christmas decorations = amazing

 Who knew that it was so cheap?

It's my 30th birthday in a few weeks time (eeek!).

I'm off to Paris to celebrate/commiserate.  I intend to drink wine and peruse vintage markets (no doubt picking up bits and pieces I don't need along the way).

Where shall I go and what shall I see? Have you any recommendations?
