The Guys and the Gals in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was a different kind of fun day. The guys and the gals went their separate ways. Peggy and I met for lunch at a neat little shop near St. Catherine’s Square called L’ÊtreAnge. I didn’t have the camera so pulled some photos from last year along with their business card or Carte de Visite. […]
A 3-Star Day in Paris
Bonsoir, What could be better than gorgeous, cool weather; lunch in front of the Louvre pyramid; and a stunning fashion exhibit at one of the prettiest buildings in Paris? That was our day! If you don’t know about Café Marly, check it out when you visit the Louvre. It’s a delightful experience that we enjoyed […]

It’s an efficient way to deal […]
A Cooler Pleasant Day in Paris
Bonsoir, Today has given some relief from the heat remaining in the high 80’s, which while still hot, is nothing like it has been. We are grateful!

Hot, Hot Weather in Paris Persists
Bonjour, We prepared to do battle again today with the unseasonably hot, dry weather in Paris. It has not rained here for over a month which is just hard to believe given that generally there are pleasant showers at least three or four times a week. The dust in the air is heavy; the leaves […]
