My Favorite French Advent Calendars of 2019

Each year, French chocolatiers and confiseurs release creative and beautiful calendrier de l’Avent, elevating them to a must-have for cozy holiday decor.

Note from Charli...

I'm entering the world of Paris apartment hunting for the first time (my husband already had our current one), and feel like I'm in for a wild ride. I still think nothing can be harder than the NYC market, but I'm learning a whole new vocabulary of dossiers, garanties and pièces.

Have any great tips for apartment searching in Paris? Please respond to this email! If I have enough info, I'll write up a post on this experience.

A bientôt! -Charli
