Huntsville Company Arrives in Paris, Tired but Happy!
Bonjour mes amis, One of greatest joys is sharing Paris with good friends. We’ll be doing a lot of that this year!

(Taking […]
Another Gray Day in Paris But Great for Strolling
Bonjour, We are eagerly awaiting the Ludwigs and will greet them at Orly airport in just a little while. They are flying the same boutique French airline that we do. Hope they managed to sleep 4-5 hours. It really does help! Yesterday was another gray day, cool, windy, but not much rain. We made the […]
Rain, wind, mist…Paris in Taupe

An Ordinary Easy Day in a Very Cool Paris

A closer look at Precious Notre Dame After the Fire
Dear Friends, We wish for you in Alabama and other ridiculously hot places to have Paris weather. At 3pm yesterday afternoon, it was 65 or so, with enough breeze to feel chilly in the shade.
