August Adventures Await!

As July comes to an end, I can’t help but look forward to the month of August. August is and always has been a favorite month of mine. This August happens to be a busy time for my travels.

After a peaceful night in my cozy Airbnb, it was time to check out and move to my new home for the next few days: the stunning Hôtel Norman in the Opéra district. Nestled just off the Champs-Élysées, the hotel felt like a Parisian dream. My junior suite, complete with a balcony overlooking the city, made me feel like I was living in my very own Parisian apartment — and I couldn’t have been more thrilled (but more on that in an upcoming GT Tested review in Global Traveler). I spent a good amount of time simply gazing at the grand architecture of the neighborhood before setting out to explore more of the city.
