If you’ve been searching for ways to create a serene yet beautiful outdoor space to not only sit and rest but also entertain, then a Parisian courtyard is for you. Elegant, organic, and yet understated all at the same time, these Parisian courtyard ideas (that I photographed while in Paris), will give you the perfect spot to have your morning espresso and croissant or provide you with a peaceful atmosphere to catch the afternoon sun on your very own terrace while you indulge in a good book.
