I was fortunate enough to be in Paris this year for the annual summer solstice music festival -

Fête de la Musique

Since the 80’s Parisians have invited performers to grab street space to share music, conversation and summer. So on June 29 I celebrated the brightest day of the year alongside my cousin Pierre and some newfound friends.

Tips: Try ‘une panache,’ a beer and lemonade afternoon cocktail.

Here are some of my favorite photos from Paris. The rest you can see on flickr
