Going to get a croissant? Melissa George is the picture of Parisian chic as she rides a vintage bicycle through the bustling streets of Paris
Melissa George once famously stated that she’d ‘rather be having a croissant in Paris’ than return to Australia.
So it’s no surprise that the Perth-born actress looked like a fancy French local while riding her bicycle through the streets of Paris on Wednesday.
The 43-year-old showed off her chic European style in a tailored brown suit as she pedalled the vintage bicycle down the road.

Melissa currently lives in Paris with her two sons, Raphael and Solal.
Back in 2012, Melissa famously told The Sydney Morning Herald that she wouldn’t return to Australia because she was sick of local media being ‘disrespectful’ by mentioning her role on Home And Away.

‘I don’t need credibility from my country any more, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don’t speak to me any more,’ she said.
‘I’d rather be having a croissant and a little espresso in Paris or walking my French bulldog in New York City.’
However, she later changed her tune after temporarily returning Down Under to film the drama Bad Mothers for Channel Nine.

During a promotional interview for the series last year, Melissa gushed to TV Week magazine: ‘Whenever I come to Australia, I feel complete.’
The blonde, who lives in Paris, spent 10 days filming Bad Mothers in Melbourne in 2018, and believes the short stay helped her ‘reconnect’ with the Australian culture.
‘This was a great opportunity to come home and be amongst Australian talent. That’s why I wanted to do this,’ she explained.
‘I’d say a lot of Australian talent gets forced to go overseas – that’s the way things work. But when we come home, it’s like the last piece of the puzzle to fit.’
