In 2009, Jess described her perfect day in Paris to her best friend:

She wrote: 

“In the early morning I would visit the original Moulin de la Vierge boulangerie, where the baguettes are still baked in a wood-burning Lefort oven and set to cool and crackle in willow baskets. I'd make a proper tartine and bring it along for a stroll through le Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, my favourite of the Haussmann parks. Here, the early light strikes the lake and high cliffs in a breathtaking way, dew fills the air with the smell of chestnuts, the perfect way to brace oneself for the city's whirling pace.”

This is where her beloved Victor chose to propose one morning 13 years after her beautiful description of the city & in particular of the Buttes Chaumont park.
