Bonjour mes amis, It’s Thursday in Paris and even here, we are smothered in the James Comey testimony. We were so hoping to get away from the politics, but it’s impossible. Yesterday was a fun, busy day beginning with some housecleaning in our apartment. We will leave it far cleaner than when we arrived, and […]
Dear friends, I know the question on your minds is in regard to yesterday’s incident at Notre Dame. Though minor, it was surely scary for those who got caught up in it. We were safely in our apartment but had been right there just the other day. Notre Dame is within easy walking distance of […]
Bonjour, Yesterday, Monday, was a holiday in Paris, in commemoration of Pentecost. However, the city was still alive and bustling with plenty of tourists. The weather was ideal for a jaunt to Montmartre, truly my favorite spot in Paris. We had a cool breeze all day under blue skies and fluffy white clouds. We have been […]
Bonjour mes amis, Sunday morning is my very favorite time in Paris, where the streets are empty of traffic, people are fewer in number, and a lazier haze rests over the city. Many shops are closed, church bells are ringing, and families and friends gather round for a brunch of croissants, coffee, and le jus […]
Bonjour, Yesterday in Paris was a surprise-much cooler and culminating in an aggravating rain which kept us from our after-dinner walk. It did not, however, keep Bernie from his nightly soirée with his buddies downstairs. They bandy about all manner of subjects which greatly increases Bernie’s French vocabulary. The group broke up abruptly to scurry […]
Bonjour, It’s wonderful to have new folks following the blog this year plus all the Facebook friends. We love hearing from you so leave us a comment, s’il vous plaît. Some communicated that they were having difficulty with that so I contacted my webmaster last night, and hopefully the issue is fixed. Many of you […]
Bonjour, We have arrived in Paris, and all is well: a good travel day, only ten minutes at Customs which was a great improvement over the forty-five minutes last year, and a welcome home to our favorite apartment on rue St. Paul. Our neighbors heard us as we came up the steps and came down […]
Bonjour, I want to go on record that turning one’s body clock around to Paris time is the pits! Yes, it’s a great help after arriving at our apartment but pretty grueling before we leave. I’m now getting up at 1am and going to bed at 6pm in the light of day! Going to bed […]
Bonjour mes amis! No, we are not in Paris yet but eagerly anticipating our thirteenth year of summer fun. Many of you have gotten your copy of Bernie’s Paris, and we are so pleased with your feedback. God bless us as we travel into the often uneasy European stage. Many have expressed their hesitation, but rest […]
Bonjour mes amis, In case you haven’t heard, our Paris book is published and available on Amazon or with a direct order from Amazon’s createspace.com/6010540. To say we are a bit excited is the understatement of the year. We’ve been zealous in getting the word out, and truly hope we haven’t beat the social media […]
