A Strolling Day Along the Old Streets of Paris
Bonjour, It’s so fun for us to see our Paris blog influence strengthen as we now have folks joining us from all around the world! Merci to all of you! Keep those comments coming in—ask questions, disagree, give a thumbs down—it doesn’t always have to be positive. We find each and every comment interesting! Yesterday, […]
Van Gogh Light Show at L’Atelier des Lumières
Bonjour mes amis, Thursday was the perfect representation of this year’s blog theme on light. We saw the Van Gogh exposition at L’Artelier des Lumières, the workshop of light and illumination. It’s a multi-media composition that is truly hard to describe: a mix of art, music, camera projection, and digital graphic genius which produces an immersion […]
From Monet to Rodin to Café Marly…A Busy Paris Day
Bonjour, Packed with adventure and fun, we are having busy days!! I know you can’t tell that. We’re pretty much pooped but having too much enjoyment to stop.

Nothing Quite Like a Lively Saturday in Paris
Bonjour, Saturdays in Paris are lively, busy, jammed with shoppers, café-sitters, and street performers, all graced yesterday with mostly blue skies and a cool breeze. What could be better.

Second Day with the Ludwigs Amid Fickle Paris Weather
Bonjour, Running behind today but know everyone wants pictures so here goes. Hate to even say this about yesterday but we ended up late morning with blue skies and temps in the upper 60’s’. Our hearts bleed for you in Alabama, but at least you have A/C! We started at perhaps our favorite small museum, […]
