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

Food, Friends, and Fun in a Full Paris Sunday
Bonjour, Good news, I think, to report on my iPad situation. After a trip to the Apple store on Les Champs Elysées, I am able to continue to use my iPad. They installed a magical, superimposed home button at no charge that I can use since mine is not working. It’s a tad cumbersome, but […]
Marché Aux Puces or Market of the Fleas
Happy Sunday to all, Unfortunately, I am having trouble with my iPad and will have to take it in to the Apple store soon. The home button is not working properly which means I can’t easily navigate. So, there may be an interruption in my blogging for a while. I’m attempting to make this one […]
A Delightful Day with Friends at La Samaritaine
Bonjour, Jim and Peggy Bilbro have been friends for many, many years. First to Bernie when Peggy was his son’s Spanish teacher at Randolph. Now to both of us as people who love all things Paris. They, like us, usually spend a portion of their summer here, and we have memories galore with them… strolling, […]
