Weekend Fun, Food and Friendship in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, Our last few days with the Bilbros have been festive and full of calories! We commented that basically all one does in Paris is eat. And the eating is wonderful. We’re either planning where to eat, making a reservation to eat or ingesting the scrumptious meals in real time. All the better […]
Sunny Day in Paris Helping Friends
Happy Friday! The weather is finally feeling like summer with a high yesterday in the upper 80s. It was just plain hot which is the first time we’ve experienced that sensation since we arrived on July 4. It was nice to feel the warm sun on our bodies and not be bothered with jackets, sweaters, […]
A Blissful Day of Leisurely Friendship
Bonjour, Not every day in Paris is full of momentous excitement fueling dozens of photos. Some days are made to be relished slowly and completely like a glorious setting sun or a slow rain. Yesterday was such a day, focused on the warmth and camaraderie of friendship. The Bilbros have only a few days left […]
Strolling To and From Rue Mouffetarde
Bonjour, In the early years of visiting Paris before Google Maps and cell phone assistance, I would eagerly peruse through all the travel books by Frommer, Michelin, and Rick Steves, etc. They all lauded a street called rue Mouffetarde on the Left Bank. Bernie had never been there; in fact, he’d never heard of it, […]
Apartment Art, New Church and New Cemetery
Bonjour mes amis, From a rainy Paris, I’m happy to share that daily posts will continue. It’s always good to check with our readers so onward and upward. Blogging is such fun for me, not work, and though I may fuss and fume over Word Press and an internet that comes and goes, overall, I […]
Weekend Snapshots Around a Windy Paris
Bonjour, Waking up with no distinct intentions is such a nice feeling, and there’s no better place to be than in Paris on a weekend for simply wandering around. On Saturday, I actually cooked a delicious late lunch in the apartment and then we decided to enjoy the roof top at Les Galeries Lafayette for […]
A Day with Friends at the “New” Musée Carnavelet
Bonjour mes amis, Can we step back for a moment and capture some additional photos from Église St. Germain des Prés from Bernie’s camera chip. I failed to include these and they are lovely. Everyone seemed to enjoy the church photos, and I hope someday you get to visit. It is actually the oldest large […]
A Stroll on the Left Bank or Rive Gauche
Bonjour, Yesterday was quite cool with a brisk wind, enough to almost move us indoors at lunch! It’s so weird to have these kind of temps in August. The city has definitely emptied out from vacationing Parisians. It was already sparse but now it’s eerily quiet. Makes for good sleeping on our busy little street. […]
