Fete des Vendanges at Montmartre, Paris
Bonsoir mes amis, This Friday evening we are back in the apartment after a day at Montmartre to take in the wine harvest celebration or Fete des Vendanges. The weather has been just great, not too warm, not too cold, no wind. It was an ideal day for an outside activity and Bernie seems to […]
Paris by Night
Bonjour, I knew the day would come when we have no pictures to share. Bernie is a bit under the weather with a cough and cold so we are taking a break today. Also we had four loads of laundry which takes 6 hours…ugh. Then the hike across the street to the dryer. What a […]
A New Restaurant and Unexpected Sunshine in Paris
Bonsoir, We were delighted to hear from many of you with comments on yesterday’s adventure with the pink Eiffel Tower. Thanks for all the kind words.

A Paris Saturday: Viaduc d’Arts & Place d’Aligre
Bonjour, How funny it seems to be living a Saturday in the fall without SEC football. I’m just noticing that the Alabama game begins at 9:30pm Paris time! Yikes. So Roll Tide and War Eagle to all the fans reading my blog. I actually pull for both sides until they play each other, and you […]
Reconnaissance and La Butte aux Cailles in Paris
Bonjour, Today has been what the French refer to as “meli-melo”, a little of this and a little of that. This morning we did some reconnaissance around the different apartment that we will use for the last two weeks of our visit while company occupies our rue St. Paul spot. It is on a quiet […]
