Montmartre: Our Favorite Paris Spot
Bonsoir, This is our eleventh trip to Paris and my eighth year to write about it. That becomes somewhat of a challenge. How many adjectives can you use? How many expletives can describe the aura and beauty of Paris? Can you wear away the sense of awe at all the treasures and serendipities? I guess […]
A Gorgeous Day at Parc de la Villette in Paris
Bonsoir, It’s 9:45 pm and we are just in from a busy day touring one of Paris’s largest parks, Parc de la Villette. We discovered last evening as we were strolling Le Paris Plages near us that there is another beach section on Canal St. Martin which evolves into La Parc de la Villette. But […]
A Lazy Paris Day under Blue Skies
Bonjour, Today was our day to share something new with the Bilbros. They had never been to the Musée Jacquemart-Andre on Boulevard Haussmann. We love their tearoom for a very French lunch, and the pastry tray from which you can personally make your choice is awesome! We arrived about 12:30 to find no line! That’s […]

Bonjour, Between the Bilbros and us, we have sixteen years of visits to Paris. We are enjoying showing each other new experiences, new restaurants, new musuems. Today was such a moment at the Albert Kahn Museum and Gardens on the outskirts of Paris. Bernie and I have never been to this before. Our day began […]

A Gorgeous Paris Night

Richard has the wonderful blog http://eyepreferparis.com which many of you already follow. Jim & Peggy have followed his blog, emailed and enjoyed each other’s photography but had never met in person. It […]
Le Weekend Weather in Paris
Bonjour, Today I will make you laugh out loud because it’s pretty chilly in Paris! After the scorching time we’ve had in the apartment, this morning all of our windows are closed up tight. The wind howled last night so much that it blew wide open a slightly cracked large, heavy window in the kitchen! […]
