Enjoying the Heart of the City
Bonjour mes amis, We gave considerable thought to going up to Montmartre yesterday, but we decided to wait until later in September in hopes of seeing a little color appear in the beautiful vines which drape some of the houses. With so little rain, who knows what kind of fall will develop. I look at […]
Housekeeping Chores Even in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was busy doing what we eventually all have to do…laundry and housecleaning. We started early on the laundry since it included bed linen for both beds and used our washing machine/dryer here in the apartment (takes 4 hours!) as well as a lavomatique down the street for the large duvées. It all sounds a […]
Bastille Market Is Jammed with Vendors and Patrons
Bonjour, We are just ten minutes from the Bastille market and it’s such a fun Sunday morning excursion. During July, it was slightly off and then in August, it’s been almost not worth spending the time to visit. BUT yesterday! Wow, oh, wow, it was absolutely packed. Our theory was that French folks are all […]
Good Friends, Good Fun…Best Way to Spend a Paris Day
Bonjour, Admittedly, there are moments in Paris where I want to pinch myself to make sure everything is truly happening.

Bonjour mes amis, First of all, merci beaucoup for the positive feedback on my blogging. Many of you commented and that was so rewarding. It does take quite a bit of my time but has become a part of my daily Paris experience. If it brings a little joy to your day, how wonderful is […]
Bonjour, What a glorious morning outside as I look out our window onto the peaceful courtyard. Cooler temps today with a high of only 80; however, the rain did not show up last evening which is so desperately needed in this dry, dry city. Yesterday was a day of foiled expectations which can happen even […]
The Heat in Paris Returns
Bonjour, It’s Thursday, August 25. High yesterday was almost 90 and today will be 87 in the late afternoon. I’d love to believe this is the end of a hot summer, but we’ll have to wait to see. The last couple of days, we’ve been spending our time on the Left Bank and learning new […]
Dog Days in Paris!
Bonjour, Yesterday, the dogs seemed to be everywhere we went both outside and inside cafés. It was truly amazing, and I was able to snap some great photos. Some of you have commented that you’ve already picked your favorite doggie, but you better hold off on that! Just saying… And since we’re on animals, we […]
