Au Revoir to the Paris Beach for 2021
Bonjour, This was the final weekend for the Paris beach or Paris Plages. It’s such fun to walk back and forth along the corridor of the Seine which is so near to us every year. It opens about the 19th of July and goes to the third weekend in August. Oh, the memories of the […]
Strolling in Warmer Weather in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, The weekend is here with warmer weather for us, maybe low 80s today which feels like a heat wave! Alas, it’s August 21 and the days are getting shorter and shorter. It’s fully dark by 9:30 now as opposed to 10:30. Will have to catch those beautiful sunsets on Pont Marie earlier […]
From Horses to Sunsets, Another Wonderful Day of Strolling
Bonjour, Our day started with horses in our neighborhood and ended with gorgeous sunsets on Pont Marie …with a haircut in between. It was cold yesterday and though we ate outside at lunch, I froze. Mine and Bernie’s wardrobes are scant for this kind of weather! There is a new frenzy in Paris called the […]
Two Days of Special Memories in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, It’s still quite cool in Paris but expected to warm up by the weekend into the high 70s. The city is eerily quiet with almost no traffic. Yes, it makes for better sleeping but doesn’t seem like Paris. Things will crank up by the end of the month when shops open back […]
Paris Temps Drop Seventeen Degrees!
Bonjour mes amis, Weather is always the trickster in Paris playing havoc with daily plans, wardrobe, and one’s mental psyche. You would think after all of these years, I’d get ahead of the weather’s fickleness, but I never do. It was 87 on Sunday and barely up to 70 yesterday. So, we adapt and lavish […]
Paris Sunday Stroll at the Beach in 87 Degrees
Bonjour, Our Sunday was quiet and easy as it was 87 degrees outside. Walking around gets tough because there’s little respite from the heat. It’s not like you can go home to a cool, air-conditioned house! So we kept fans going in all corners of the apartment and the windows CLOSED to keep the heat […]
Weekend Fun, Food and Friendship in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, Our last few days with the Bilbros have been festive and full of calories! We commented that basically all one does in Paris is eat. And the eating is wonderful. We’re either planning where to eat, making a reservation to eat or ingesting the scrumptious meals in real time. All the better […]
Sunny Day in Paris Helping Friends
Happy Friday! The weather is finally feeling like summer with a high yesterday in the upper 80s. It was just plain hot which is the first time we’ve experienced that sensation since we arrived on July 4. It was nice to feel the warm sun on our bodies and not be bothered with jackets, sweaters, […]
