Paris in Black & White // 2014

Oui, Oui, PARIS! When I went on my study abroad trip to London, I decided to head to Paris a few days before the start of my program. I was absolutely infatuated with the city and fully understand why it is called the City of Lights and Love.

I did not think that I would like Paris as much as I did. It's one place where you feel obligated to slow down and just take in the sites. These are a few of my favorite photos that look lovely in black and white but also capture the subtle beauty of the city.
