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
Bonjour, Monday morning in Paris was full of fun, at least for me. I convinced Bernie to seek out a concept store called Merci, rather famous it seems and right in our neighborhood.

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.

Paris is Coming to Our Neighborhood…Don’t Miss it!
Dear Friends, Later this spring, a very special, exclusive, never-before-event is coming to our area…Diner en Blanc. You’ve heard me blog about this before from Paris… where everyone rushes to a secret, pre-arranged spot by invitation only to have dinner in the open air. Everyone dresses in white.
