A Blissful Day of Leisurely Friendship
Bonjour, Not every day in Paris is full of momentous excitement fueling dozens of photos. Some days are made to be relished slowly and completely like a glorious setting sun or a slow rain. Yesterday was such a day, focused on the warmth and camaraderie of friendship. The Bilbros have only a few days left […]
Strolling To and From Rue Mouffetarde
Bonjour, In the early years of visiting Paris before Google Maps and cell phone assistance, I would eagerly peruse through all the travel books by Frommer, Michelin, and Rick Steves, etc. They all lauded a street called rue Mouffetarde on the Left Bank. Bernie had never been there; in fact, he’d never heard of it, […]
Apartment Art, New Church and New Cemetery
Bonjour mes amis, From a rainy Paris, I’m happy to share that daily posts will continue. It’s always good to check with our readers so onward and upward. Blogging is such fun for me, not work, and though I may fuss and fume over Word Press and an internet that comes and goes, overall, I […]
Weekend Snapshots Around a Windy Paris
Bonjour, Waking up with no distinct intentions is such a nice feeling, and there’s no better place to be than in Paris on a weekend for simply wandering around. On Saturday, I actually cooked a delicious late lunch in the apartment and then we decided to enjoy the roof top at Les Galeries Lafayette for […]
A Day with Friends at the “New” Musée Carnavelet
Bonjour mes amis, Can we step back for a moment and capture some additional photos from Église St. Germain des Prés from Bernie’s camera chip. I failed to include these and they are lovely. Everyone seemed to enjoy the church photos, and I hope someday you get to visit. It is actually the oldest large […]
A Stroll on the Left Bank or Rive Gauche
Bonjour, Yesterday was quite cool with a brisk wind, enough to almost move us indoors at lunch! It’s so weird to have these kind of temps in August. The city has definitely emptied out from vacationing Parisians. It was already sparse but now it’s eerily quiet. Makes for good sleeping on our busy little street. […]
Here and There Around Paris in Photos
Bonjour, A word about the weather in Paris. It feels like late October when we were here in 2019. Yesterday, the temps did not reach 70 degrees. People start and end the day in coats of some sort and you do see everything. It’s really odd and counter to almost everything I brought to wear. […]
La Bourse de Commerce – Fabulous New Museum
Bonjour mes amis, One of the tributes I must give to the French is the artistic vision of repurposing the old, as opposed to tearing it down. Such is the case with the former stock exchange building called La Bourse de Commerce. The Bilbros and Bernie and I have had tix to this before we […]
