Perfume Shopping

While we were out shopping we came across the most amazing perfumery.  We stepped into the shop and enjoyed learning about the perfumes. Each perfume came with backstories of how each one was imagined and came to be.  The coolest part of the entire process was that I got to watch my perfume being mixed and created right in front of me.  It was such a cool experience, and I still love and wear my perfume religiously every day.  I would totally recommend visiting Abstraction Paris if you are visiting Paris.

Where We Stayed

I want to mention where we stayed because I found that it can be hard to find hotel rooms in Paris that accommodate a family of four.  Most rooms that accommodate four have a pull-out sofa and this wasn’t going to work for my two teens.  I found the Astotel Joke Hotel for a reasonable price early in my hotel search.  It’s perfect for families and is located in a great area right on the border of Montmartre.  We booked a family room that is comprised of two separate rooms and bathrooms connected by a hallway.  It was so nice to be able to spread out, especially since my son wasn’t feeling well.

The hotel offers breakfast that is included in the price of your stay.  Further, they offer free drinks and snacks all day. This was fantastic for us since we were traveling with two teens who were always either hungry or thirsty.  I would totally recommend the Joke hotel to anyone visiting Paris.
