Three Centuries of Paris Fashion at Les Arts Décoratif
Bonjour, Some days are slow and lazy, and this has been one of them. The weather is still quite cool, and we managed a pouring rain about 1:30 which kept us inside at the Musée d’Arts Décoratif. I began my day early with a much-needed haircut. I always hold my breath a bit when I […]
The Eiffel Tower Light Show for Orlando
Bonjour mes amis, Last evening, though tired, sleepy and feeling our age, we made our way to the Eiffel Tower. . . when reasonable people should be heading to bed! There were special ceremonies in memory of the victims of the Orlando shooting. We felt we had to be there since it was our country […]
Paris and “Football” Frenzy
Salut! It’s a gray Monday in Paris with intermittent light drizzle and around 60 degrees. We welcomed Bernie’s son, James, this morning and his partner, Stephen. Their studio apartment is about a 3-minute walk from us on the top floor of another 16th century building in the Marais. I’m sure they have at least 70 […]
Un Bon Weekend à Paris

They will be staying in an apartment very close to us, about a 3-minute walk. We are glad the river has found its […]
Reunion with a Paris Friend

Paris Memories…Always the Best with Friends
Bonjour, After almost a week in Paris, Jan & Tony left early this morning (Friday). It was a good week but certainly less than hoped for with Jan’s being under the weather. She was able to make all of our dinners, but none of the daily activities. They stayed at the Hotel Caron (http://www.hotelcaron.com) It’s […]
A Food Day in Sunny Paris
Bonjour, We found a way to make our central focus yesterday in Paris about food! That’s not hard to do in this wonderful place. Our friend Jan was only able to join us for dinner, but we enjoyed the earlier part of the day with Tony. Our stop for lunch was the Terrace of the Plaza […]
Our Perfect Paris Day
Dear Friends, What can I say? I’m a Southern gal from Alabama and nothing suits me better in Paris than warm temps, blue skies, and sunshine! That’s what we had yesterday in one of our best weather days since arriving. The city is adjusting to the flood and life goes on amazingly well. Our guests […]
