Oh my goodness you guys. This one is for all the Paris lovers and dreamers out there. I can not wait for you to see this episode! It feels magical to me. I could just watch it forever. I love seeing such a magnificent place through a child’s eyes.
When we move back to the U.S., I’m positive we’ll watch this movie every time we get homesick for France. (Try it on vimeo if it’s not playing for you here.)
You can find out a little backstory about this episode here, and for those who are curious, Betty’s pom pom hat and over-the-knee socks are from Tea Collection. Please tell me you love the video as much as I do!
P.S. — Huge thanks to Tiger in a Jar for the gorgeous footage, to Merrilee Liddiard for the beautiful title illustration, and to our friend Caroline for helping out the entire time!
This is perfection! I’m 25, but Paris never fails to make me feel like a little girl! My heart was skipping beats the whole time and it made me so homesick for it. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you. Beautiful. Inspiring.

What? Are you guys moving back to the States!?
Don’t tell me you’re leaving that awesome barn!
My daughter will be four next Wednesday. The episodes of Olive Us are pretty much all the t.v. we watch right now. I was openly weeping by the end of this one, and my daughter said with wonder in her voice, “Mama, *I* was almost crying with happiness, too.”
Gabrielle,
I loved watching this video. It somehow conjures up the way I felt as a college exchange student living in the 1er arrondissement in Paris for 5 months: a child in a giant and gorgeous yet sophisticated playground.
Happy, happy memories.
Thank you!
