An Afternoon at Luxembourg Gardens
Bonjour from Paris on a Sunday morning, We are hearing from so many of you about the terrible heat in the USA. Hopefully, you will get a break soon! Not to add salt to your wound, but yesterday in Paris was just perfect. I think the high was 68 degrees with a gentle breeze, and […]
La Campagne à Paris…The Country in Paris
Happy Weekend, I love a day like yesterday in Paris. . . new territory, charm, and surprise, all amid gorgeous weather. Thanks to a suggestion from friends, Connie and Jim Malone, we struck out after lunch for a long, complicated subway ride to the suburbs of Paris in the 20th arrondissment, an area which is […]

Moving Day in Paris
Bonjour, After a very busy morning of packing and unpacking, we are in our new apartment which will be our home for the second month of our Paris visit! We LOVE it…very light, breezy and much more room than we had before. However, we will remember 42BIS on rue St. Paul with much fondness and […]
