We heart Paris
One thing that we really wanted to do in Paris was have a wine, cheese, and bread picnic beneath the Eiffel Tower. So one fine day, we wandered down Rue Le Cler, stopping at the fromagerie, the boulanger, and the wine shop to pick up the necessary items. [FYI… while food generally isn’t cheap, you can buy a fine bottle of red wine for about 1,50 Euros (about $2 CAD) and champagne comes as cheap as 1 Euro a bottle.]
Best. Picnic. Ever.
Maybe it was the wine, or maybe this post from Don’t Ever Look Back was still stuck in the back of my mind, but after our picnic I felt the insatiable desire for some more cheese…of the photo variety.
Everyone wanted some cheesy Eiffel Tower pictures
You know what I mean… those really cheesy Eiffel Tower pictures where you’re holding it or pushing it down? We got a little more creative than most… and had a blast taking them. Luckily for me, Mike was a good sport (and a great photographer!) so we got some my favourite photos from our trip thus far…
Enjoy!

Push though you may, that tower isn’t going anywhere
Just hanging out
It’s all about balance
A little Eiffel Tower love
Not so much Eiffel Tower love here
Good to the last drop
Too much wine?

Hungry hungry Mike
Cheesy photos aren’t just for the Eiffel Tower… we got the pyramid at the Louvre in on the action
Mike, pretending to be the pyramid
Nap time!
Wow… anyone else notice how destructive Mike is in all these pictures?
Mike continues eating his way through Paris…
Awesome, I think creative as opposed to cheesy is the better adjective … love’m. Mike eating the ET was my fav.
Thanks Randy, I was inspired by my Eiffel Tower shaped brie cheese…
OMG, I am soooo laughing right now!! Great pics!!
Thanks
Hahaha, love your work guys! I wish those grass areas were open when we visited, you’ve taken some shots that we didn’t even think of… might have to go back and try them again! 🙂
If you are anything like us, you could probably go back to Paris a few times. There’s a lot to see, and it’s to expensive to stay and see it all in one trip.
Great photos; you do need a good photographer to make them like that!
Having a model that follows instructions helps too. Sometimes Ashley is too modest.
I love these shots, you two are so funny! The picnic looks perfect: wine, baguette, and cheese – where can you go wrong?
I’m not sure, but we ate that way as often as we could in Paris. Somehow after a week, our stomachs were not quite feeling as good as I expected. Regardless, they were so good that I think we’ll repeat those picnic lunches next time (and probably every time) that we are back in Paris.
