A Slow, Easy Paris Day
Bonjour, Yesterday produced no new photos as Bernie is really under the weather with a horrible cold. I did catch-up with laundry, grocery shopping, a little cleaning in the apartment and some other shopping. Looks like today will be much the same. I scanned back through all the photos I’ve taken and found some which […]
Final Day with Family
Bonjour, We’ve had a full, very full, week with James and Andrew and their visit comes to an end with many memories. Since it was Sunday, we spent the morning at the Bastille market. I must have a 1000 photos from over the years but took just a few more to give you a flavor. […]
A Cold Day at Montmartre Among Other Strange Happenings
Bon Dimanche, Happy Sunday to everyone. It’s quite cold here in the upper 30’s and low 40’s always with a slight mist in the air. Yesterday’s outing was to Montmartre, my favorite place in Paris. However, I must admit that I much prefer summertime there. What happened along the way is the real story. It’s […]

Yesterday, we had reservations at Jules Verne in the Tour Eiffel at 12 noon. This was a generous and very expensive extravaganza from Bernie to James, Andrew and me. He never said […]
Incredible Exhibits, Incredible Food…Paris style
Bonjour mes amis, Cold but dry was our day yesterday. James and Andrew spent their day at Le Louvre and the four of us enjoyed the programme that Laurie had put together. She is always totally up on what’s happening culturally in Paris! First to the beautiful L’Orangerie in the Tuileries Gardens, home to the […]
Family Time in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was a cold, wet day in Paris filled with a multitude of this and that, mèli, mèlo as they say in France. We started quite early by doing laundry in the apartment. We can wash but must go down the street to dry. Our laverie is just across from the famous and delightful […]
Welcoming Family to Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was an early start for Bernie as he met his son James and his partner Andrew at Orly airport. They had a smooth flight on La Compagnie and arrived at their hotel around 10:30 to store their bags. We had a quick coffee and started walking which is the main activity in Paris. […]
