Last week, Canadian airline Westjet announced they would begin offering flights to Paris in May of this year. I don’t normally report on airline news, but this story piqued my interest because the announcement came with an incredible seat sale. Flights from Winnipeg to Paris were priced at just over $500 return. We are serious about sticking to a budget when we travel, and we have still never paid less than $900 return for flights to Europe. As far as I know, they simply don’t exist.

I remember the morning we took these photos because nothing went quite according to plan. It was freezing cold and windy, despite the late April date. We arrived at the perfect spot in the Jardin des Tuileries, overlooking Place de la Concorde and set-up our shots. I am almost always willing to deal with the cold for twenty minutes to get great photos, because fashion. But just as we were shooting our tenth frame, a large red van pulled up and parked directly behind me, spoiling our scenery.
