“Bernie’s Paris – Travel Stories with Love”
Bonjour mes amis, In case you haven’t heard, our Paris book is published and available on Amazon or with a direct order from Amazon’s createspace.com/6010540. To say we are a bit excited is the understatement of the year. We’ve been zealous in getting the word out, and truly hope we haven’t beat the social media […]
What’s It Like to Write a Book?
Dear Friends, You’ve heard it said, as I have, that there’s a book inside every one of us. That’s probably true, and there are hundreds of new books that come out every day, far too many to ever read. The publishing world has morphed into an entirely new creature, even in the last two years. […]
The Rest of the Paris Story
Dear Friends, We have been home from Paris for a month almost to the day. If you read my final blog which I posted on July 16, you may remember that I had injured my foot, etc. etc. This was especially challenging because of the 78 steps we had the last month! FINALLY, I was […]
Final Thoughts and True Confessions from Paris
Au revoir to our wonderful friends and family! Our summer jaunt is done, and it’s been a different year for us in many ways. I always like to reflect in my final blog and talk about what’s been different during this visit. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been coming for twelve years. I’m so […]

Our Weekend Potpourri
Bonsoir, On Saturday, we visited our very favorite museum in Paris, Musée JacqueMart-André and had lunch at their beautiful tearoom. We were lucky enough to get seating on the patio where we met a delightful couple from London who have an apartment in Paris, Malcolm and Antonia Alexander. They were celebrating their 11th anniversary by going […]
An Afternoon at Fountainebleau
Bonjour, Our outing to Fountainebleau was quite nice, but held a surprise. The other chateaus we have visited in France have been in remote locations in the countryside. Fountainebleau is in the immediate town of Fountainebleau, lacking a sense of separation from the modern world. The gardens are massive behind the chateau, but we didn’t have time to thoroughly visit […]
