I finally got to see what all of the adoration was about to kick off this summer. And yes, within a day, I was smitten.

Paris immediately spoke to me in a way that no city has. Walking from one arrondissement to another, I was introduced to people who treasure beauty, whether it’s through a seemingly simple, yet deeply intricate Parisian balcony, or a plate of foie gras drizzled with bright honey and sea salt.
