First Video from Paris :: Finding 3 Rue Balzac

Sean has been filming, editing and sharing videos from our trip with our family and friends back home. And can I just say? he’s been having the best time making these!! While I’m lost for hours sorting through photos and blogging them here, he’s lost for hours working on his latest video. I think Paris is working it’s magic, as it is certainly inspiring the creativity in these two yokels {meaning us} 

I thought I’d share this video, our first from Paris, with you here on the blog. Sean made this one for my mom on a walk we took along the Champs Elysees to find her first apartment in Paris. As I mentioned, she lived in Paris for eight years. This apartment located just three streets down from the Arc d' Triomphe was one of her first Paris homes.  She lived at 3 Rue Balzac, while working as a flight attendant. And yes! Did you know my dad was an airline pilot? On flight layovers he would stay in the hotel directly across the street~ quite convenient. As my mom said, he didn’t have far to go to see her. And so their romance began...

There’s a reason they say Paris is a city for lovers. Right? Isn’t that what they say?!

That was so much fun to watch, having just got back from France it's exciting to see more of it. We were only 2 hours drive away from Paris I wish we could have travelled and met you!
Looking forward to seeing more photos from you both. I'm posting my France photos on my blog this week too. Niki xxx
Thank you, Sean and Marisa...what a pleasure to watch. All I kept thinking is that you will have such wonderful memories together of your trip. You are truly a special couple.
See you in class.......Sondra

Field trip! Loved going on a walk with you guys and Charles (I think that's his lovely voice)... and once upon a time when i lived in Paris, we used to call that lovely intersection Le Place de Freeforall, and I like Place de Near Miss just as much... xo
Beautiful! And what a thoughtful video.

Our plans are to be in Paris from May 3rd - the 12th. Fingers crossed the volcano doesn't get in the way!
