Bustling, Busy Champs Elysées
Bonjour, Glorious weather graced our day with hardly a cloud in the sky and 70 degrees as the high. I’d call that about perfect unless you have vertigo and then, darn, it’s not as much fun. Bless Bernie for always holding my hand and telling me that everything will get better. Maybe home is where […]
Reconnaissance Is Always a Good Idea
Bonjour mes amis, Our day was built around some preparation for my daughter’s visit. We thought it a good idea to get laundry out of the way for a while which meant a trip to the Laverie to dry our clothes and another lunch at Le Temps des Cerises across the street. Our plat du […]
Slow, Easy Paris Tuesday
Bonjour, You may have noticed that I didn’t blog yesterday… quite under the weather with horrible vertigo and nausea when I got up. It slowly went away throughout the day, and we were able to walk around a bit in an area around the BHV (the large department store in the Marais) referred to as […]
A Sunday Filled with Surprises

Sharing Saturday with a Dear Friend at Le Petit Palais

Flâner…the French Word Meaning to Stroll
Bon Week-end to all! Yesterday was a blissfully wonderful weather day. Here’s a chuckle to start the blog. I had to slip into a “toilette” and disrobe a bit ending up with a sweater turtleneck tied around my waste, my jacket on my arm, and my scarf flapping in the breeze. I know the weather […]
Strolling Around Notre Dame
Bonjour, It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve been here for 17 days already! And we’re still waiting on Spring, at least by our Alabama definition! It was a national holiday yesterday, Ascension Day, or as some referred to it, the bank holiday. The first part of our day was changing our bed, washing and then […]
Living Le Joie de Vivre
Bonjour mes amis, Some days capture the joie de vivre completely, and today was such a day. Our friend Hannah will be leaving Paris soon for a return visit to the USA so we are savoring every bit of time we have remaining. She had never been to the tearoom at Jacquemart-André Museum or to […]
