KNIFE AND FORK AT SPOON

I was lucky enough to enjoy this Delicious shoulder of lamb at Paris’ popular Spoon Restaurant run by multi-Michelin star chef, Alain Ducasse. It’s located right below the 19th Century Stock Exchange, Palais Brongniart.
METRO MOLLY
WHERE Paris
WHEN 19 October
Talented South African living in Paris, Molly Steven, framed between platforms in the metro. Not often you get to take a pic in any metro that doesn’t have a thousand other people in it.
SHOOTING HOOPS WITH BRYAN
WHERE Bois de Vincennes, Paris

Playing a game of wheelchair basketball with Springbok rugby legend Bryan Habana. It was part of a session to bring light to accessibility through sport at the Laureus Sport For Good Foundation Global Summit.
PEOPLE WATCHING AT SAINT-JACQUES
WHERE Place Saint-Jacques

Autumnal moods at the art deco-styled Saint-Jacques Metropolitain underground station. It was oddly intriguing watching people enter through the exit!
THE BONEYARD
WHERE Paris

Exploring the chilling ossuary of the underground Catacombs of Paris. The bones of over 6 millon people are artfully placed and here in an effort to eliminate the country’s overflowing cemeteries.
FEELING ON TOP OF THE WORLD
WHERE Bois de Vincennes, Paris
WHEN 20 October
What a privilege to be a part of the Laureus Sport For Good Global Summit 2018. It was a phenomenal week working with people all doing their best to bring about change in their communities through sport.
BRIDE TO BE
WHERE Notre Dame, Paris
WHEN 16 October
Snuck in a shot of this beautiful bride outside a cafe next to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. Her and her groom were doing this cool photo shoot on the streets.
PARISIENNE LIGHTS
WHERE River Seine, Paris
WHEN 17 October
I was having dinner on a boat travelling down the River Seine (as one does!), it was sunset, and there in the distance was the Eiffel Tower, already glittering with its lights switched on.
PRETTY IN PINK

WHEN 3 November
Dressed in a bespoke pink suit for the Cintron Pink Polo in aid of breast cancer awareness and hosted at Val de Vie Club in Paarl.
