I love travelling, but if I'm honest I don't travel as much as I would like.

Therefore, I'd like to offer this little "throwback" to February last year, when I went to Paris for my (now) wife's 30th birthday. Hope you enjoy!

As always, Paris it was stunning.

We were staying in the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine; a picturesque and posh area that had lots of great restaurants, bars and patisseries and some impressive views of the skyscrapers of the financial district. As the main road in Neuilly is Avenue Charles de Gaulle, which is one big long straight road that eventually reaches the Arc de Triomphe, we decided that was a must visit.

It was a foggy day when we set out, but that's ok, as it added atmosphere to the views we received when we got to the top.

The tunnel under the insanely busy Place Charles de Gaulle roundabout was one of my favourite features. Watching the cars from the top made me thankful I hadn't decided to drive for the trip.

Whilst up the Arc, the sun slowly started to emerge, and after that first morning we were lucky with the weather - bright, crisp winter sunshine for the rest of the trip.

On the way back to the apartment that afternoon we stopped at a market which was buzzing with local activity.

After a day of walking we had a nap. I'm not ashamed to admit it. When we woke it was nighttime, which meant there was only one course of action - find a trendy little burger bar that brews its own beer and settle in. We found Frog Burger, and it was good.

Thanks all, hope you've enjoyed!
