Iâve been wanting to go to Paris for quite some time now and I decided 2020 was going to be THE YEAR! Well, due to quarantine Iâm going to pivot my planning -- no pandemic is gonna stop me from achieving the desires of my heart!
So, to do so, Iâm going to do Paris quarantine style:
Iâm going to cook myself a meal that my friend Brad (who has been to Paris many-a-time) told me is a staple he gets every time he goes and while Iâm cooking Iâm going to listen to this carefully curated playlist:
âLITTLE FRENCH SONGâ CARLA BRUNI
âLES CHAMPS-ELYSEES â JOE DASSIN
âWHERE DO YOU GO TO (MY LOVELY)â PETER SARSTEDT
âI LOVE PARISâ ELLA FITZGERALD
âSOUS LE CIEL DE PARISâ EDITH PIAF
âARC DE TRIOMPHEâ PARIS CAFĂ SOCIETY
âPAM PA NAMâ OXMO PUCCINO
âAPRIL IN PARISâ ELLA FITZGERALD & LOUIS ARMSTRONG
âPARISâ LITTLE DRAGON
âFREE MAN IN PARISâ (LIVE) JONI MITCHELL
âUNDER THE BRIDGES OF PARISâ EARTHA KITT
After cooking, Iâm going to eat it in front of the TV and watch âParis Can Waitâ starring Diane Lane and Alec Baldwin. This is a movie Ryan Seacrest actually mentioned to me On Air with Ryan Seacrest.He said the movie actually makes you feel like you are right there with them so if I canât go to Paris this year, Iâm gonna do it the best way I can for now :)
Let me know if any of you do the same! Letâs not let the pandemic âruin our plansâ but rather make us think outside the box
