A Week of Gorgeous Weather in Paris with the Shory’s
Bonjour, Yesterday was our final day with the Shory’s who by the way are currently in Louisville, Kentucky. Bill is the news director for WAVE-TV, and Michelle teaches English as a second language. He and Michelle are wonderful parents to their extraordinary daughter, Isabella, who has captured our hearts. We are all tired from many, […]
Summer Solstice in Paris: Cafe Marly, Les Tuileries, Fete du Musique
Bonjour, First a word about yesterday’s post. About 7:25am, the crazy system took over from me and posted without my initiative a post that had only one paragraph and no pics. Some of you noticed and commented. Later, I updated that post to the real thing with commentary and lovely photos. It all depends on […]
The Ideal Day in Montmartre…Sun, Friends, and Fun
Bonjour mes amis, If you’ve been on my blog for years, you know that Montmartre is my favorite spot in Paris. If you have our book, “Bernie’s Paris,” I invite you to reread the section describing my attachment to this little Eden of old Paris bliss. I worked diligently with each carefully chosen word to […]
Fifteen Thousand Paris Steps With Isabella
Cher mes amis, Yesterday began about 9:30 when our guests, Michelle, Bill, and Isabella Shory came to us in Le Marais. They are staying in the beautiful and very Americanized Marriott on Les Champs, and we wanted to introduce them to true Parisian life in our apartment. After the “oohs” and “wows” to our 16th century apartment building, they […]
Two New Paris Delights…”Merci” and The Shory’s

I was more enthralled than Bernie with the ambiance and unique displays. Here’s a quote from web site www.theinfatuation.com: “If you want […]
Paris…A City of Constant Change And Creativity
Bonjour, Sundays in Paris are my favorite as the morning quiet is unlike any other day. The traffic is minimal and many of the streets in the Marais become pedestrian only for Sunday afternoon shopping and strolling. There is an amazing desire for all good things to stay the same, but alas, they rarely do. […]
Beautiful Saturday Weather in Paris, Wish You Were Here
Bonjour mes amis, Saturday is always the busiest day of the week in Paris, especially in the afternoon, as people pour out on the streets for weekly shopping and playing. The weather is gorgeous right now…low 70’s with a nice breeze. Let’s hope it holds and we avoid the horrible heat wave we had last […]
Paris, always the same but also some differences
Bonjour! It’s a very early day here for me in Paris trying to get body clocks, eating habits, and body systems reset. Always a challenge and more so with each year. Now, I didn’t say that we’re getting old, but that’s what we’re all thinking…Ha! It’s a lot for anyone at any age, but more […]
