Our Weekend Potpourri
Bonsoir, On Saturday, we visited our very favorite museum in Paris, Musée JacqueMart-André and had lunch at their beautiful tearoom. We were lucky enough to get seating on the patio where we met a delightful couple from London who have an apartment in Paris, Malcolm and Antonia Alexander. They were celebrating their 11th anniversary by going […]
An Afternoon at Fountainebleau
Bonjour, Our outing to Fountainebleau was quite nice, but held a surprise. The other chateaus we have visited in France have been in remote locations in the countryside. Fountainebleau is in the immediate town of Fountainebleau, lacking a sense of separation from the modern world. The gardens are massive behind the chateau, but we didn’t have time to thoroughly visit […]

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!
Bonjour, There’s nothing better than spending Sunday morning at one of the largest markets in Paris at Marché Bastille. 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 […]

Happy Fourth of July Weekend! I will take a break on the blog for a day or two since I’m sure most of you will be busy grilling burgers, eating watermelon, and visiting with family and friends. We will be as proud to be Americans here in Paris as we are at home! This morning […]
