Incredible Exhibits, Incredible Food…Paris style
Bonjour mes amis, Cold but dry was our day yesterday. James and Andrew spent their day at Le Louvre and the four of us enjoyed the programme that Laurie had put together. She is always totally up on what’s happening culturally in Paris! First to the beautiful L’Orangerie in the Tuileries Gardens, home to the […]
Family Time in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was a cold, wet day in Paris filled with a multitude of this and that, mèli, mèlo as they say in France. We started quite early by doing laundry in the apartment. We can wash but must go down the street to dry. Our laverie is just across from the famous and delightful […]

Zipping Across Paris on a Cold, Wet Day
Bonjour mes amis, Someone forgot to tell us that we aren’t ten years younger! We spent the day zipping around to see Christmas decorations and ended with a lovely dinner at the Bonnie restaurant atop the SO hotel. It was dark, cold and rainy so no chance for many pics. It was also quite loud […]
