Café Chairs of Maison Drucker…The Best in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, As our time together comes to a close, I thought it would be great to have a little fun AND perhaps learn something new at the same time. Thanks to Bernie’s French cousin, Laurie, I have learned that all café chairs in Paris are not created equal. A House of Tradition, Maison […]
A Paris evening stroll around Le Seine
Bonsoir, This blog post is a day late arriving because we have been without any internet for almost 24 hours. So read this as though it was yesterday! Our weather has been glorious today, all day long. No clouds, no gray cast, no rain…just blue skies and warm temps. Since it was so nice, we […]
A Day at Père LaChaise, a Lovely Paris Cemetery
Bonsoir, We had not been to Père LaChaise in many years, and a second visit was our main itinerary today. The weather was breezy, cool, and mostly cloudy so it was an appropriate ambiance for walking quietly through this huge green space. I was very surprised at how few people were visiting, almost no Americans […]
The Sunday Bastille Market…C’est Superb!

And for us, it’s a convenient wonder that it’s only two blocks from our apartment. We decided to stroll through and let the pictures tell the story. Despite a gray, drizzly day, we found color and enjoyment […]

Strolling through “the Seventh” in Paris
Bonjour, Today has been a lovely weather day in the upper 60s with mostly sunny skies. Our morning is usually devoted to shopping, as was the case today. Then we grabbed some take-out lunch from a little patisserie including a splurge with a fresh cherry tart! Most days we are averaging between 12,000 and 15,000 […]
Méli-Mélo from Paris…A Little of This and That!
Bonjour mes amis, I thought I would give all of us a little break from the blog for a day or two! Hope the weather has moderated some in Alabama. Things are certainly “hot” over here with Brexit and some additional manifestations at the Bastille and the closure of the Eiffel Tower today. But as […]
