Images from Montmartre
Bonjour, Thanks for all of your lovely comments. I read each one because I have to approve them before they post. They are like the best of French desserts after long, tiring days out and about. Yesterday was a gorgeous weather day and perfect for our final trip to Montmartre. It was in the high […]
Magical Day in Le Marais
Bonjour, Before I begin today’s post, let me clarify about an ER visit in Paris. Since I have no doctor here, going to the ER is the only option for any kind of medical care. I had a mild infection which would have continued to worsen without an antibiotic. The issue was not something I […]
Precious Time with Paris Friends
I AM RESENDING THIS POST BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DID NOT RECEIVE IT. Bonjour mes amis, Our last few days have been a bit weird and my blog-writing and photography have suffered. For that, I offer regrets but it certainly hasn’t been intentional. I’ve been a bit under the weather, but after a trip to the […]
Cool Sunday in Paris

What an amazing legacy and historic icon she was. When I was 22 years old, I remember teaching a unit on Shakespeare to my Juniors at Southwest High School in […]

Paris in the Rain…No Complaints

A Perfectly Delightful Day in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, Tuesday was a day of revisiting places we haven’t been to in many years: Place d’Aligre with the vibrant Marche Beauvau and the Le Viaduct des Arts on top of a beautiful train trestle near Le Bastille. The weather was perfect, a touch cloudy, in the 70’s, with a slight breeze. We […]
Farewell Lunch with the Bilbros
Bonjour mes amis, Happy Labor Day in America! It’s just a regular Monday here in Paris but the big news is some precious rain that came overnight along with loud thunderstorms and plenty of lightning. Temps, however, today will climb to 87 degrees…ugh. Still waiting and waiting for cooler weather. Half of my wardrobe has […]
