Shopping in Paris

Shopping in Paris

I have to be honest.....we did not shop in Paris!

These are pictures of our taxi ride through the real shopping district of Paris!






Maybe you'll get some ideas of Paris fashion from our sneak peaks!








Our shopping consisted of souvenir type stuff--scarves, aprons, magnets, etc.




Although we did make sure to have crepes along the way!











Nice to see what's chic in Paris through window shopping!



Does window shopping count?
