Paris Metro Map

In a couple of weeks I will be moving to New York City for an internship.  I am super excited to be able to work with the wonderful girls at Vagabond NYC. For me, maps of the transportation or metro say a lot about a city (how big it is, how accessible, or how confusing etc.) so I wanted to put together maps of the subway/metro/tube of cities I have visited or lived in ( except London, but I love the London Tube logo) to compare.

A day of roses

Speaking of France, a couple years ago, my grandmother came to visit me in Paris. She was looking for a specific body lotion from Fragonard that my aunt loved but could not get it anywhere in Italy (where she lives) so she asked if we could look for it. I have never heard of the label so I was not sure where to look for it. One day, I took my grandmother to the Louvre and there it was, a Fragonard store! Of course I went through all the perfumes and lotions to see what they smell like. They were all wonderful and the scents were so real! But finally I decided on the Rose de mai scent. The first time i put it on, locked in my bathroom, my grandmother who was two closed doors away from me yelled out, "are you putting on the body lotion? It smells so wonderful!" And it did smell magnificent the whole day...I didn't even have to wear perfume! I am so happy I found it. Thank you grandma! :)
