Here and There in Le Marais On New Year’s Eve
Happy New Year, friends near and far! We wish for you a happy, healthy and productive New Year. We have exactly one week remaining and it will be busy connecting with friends before we depart on January 8th. The weather is still chilly, BUT we haven’t had any rain in ten days or so. That […]
Dimanche: Sunday in Paris
Bonjour, Our days are becoming fewer and colder but no indication of any snow in the forecast. It will be in the mid 30’s today which is pretty cold to walk around in especially at night. Yesterday was a slow easy day as Sundays should be. We decided upon lunch in La Place de la […]
Christmas Tourists Still Jam Paris
Bonjour, It barely got above freezing yesterday so a very cold (hatless) day. Ah, Bernard. We did not stop out of the apartment until after 3pm for some grocery shopping and then a last effort to see Christmas decorations after dark at the suggestion of Google’s Top Ten.

A Beautiful Day…Oops, Until It Wasn’t
Bonjour, There was no blog yesterday morning because there were no photos to share from the day before. We stayed inside amid some lousy weather. We have a cute efficient apartment and we LOVE where it is but it is not quite 500 square feet. After a day there, we were ready to do something […]
