Joyeuses Pâques! 🐣 Hop into Easter Weekend with me!

In France, Easter isn't just about chocolate eggs and <<les ponts>> (although we do love those too!). It's a time for families to come together, indulge in delicious feasts, and honor age-old customs. From attending mass at stunning cathedrals to indulging in scrumptious Easter brunches, every moment is imbued with the spirit of renewal and togetherness.

But most of all, its about amazing chocolate!

🐣 Now, I have some egg-ceptional news to share with you all! 🎉 In just one week's time, I'll be landing in the City of Light myself. That's right – yours truly will be soaking up the sights, sounds, and flavors of Paris, at least for a weekend as we make our way to Portugal, and I can't wait to bring you along for the journey!

Stay glued to Instagram to keep up.
