Grabbing Good Weather for Montmartre As We Can!
Bonjour! A good weather day is scarce in Paris right now, and it’s an absolute requirement for a trip to Montmartre. We grabbed it and off we went! Bob & Cindi had been there once 20 years ago. They vaguely remembered the church, the art square, and of course, the steps. We took our time […]
Weather Was No Deterrent to Sunday Fun in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, Five years ago, we celebrated Bernie’s 75th birthday in the fall, and the weather was totally different – mild, beautiful, and mostly sunny.

Rain, wind, mist…Paris in Taupe
Bonjour, C’est Mercredi in Paris. (It’s Wednesday) We are one day shy of welcoming Bob and Cindi Ludwig to Paris. Can’t wait to host them and hopefully better weather. Yesterday Paris was a taupe gray as reflected in the image at the top of the blog of the Montparnasse Tower. I find it interesting that […]
