Peninsula Hotel in Paris Plus Fashion Week
Bonsoir, Today has all been about pictures! Read on and you will understand. How funny life can be on certain occasions. We had two wonderful opportunities today to pursue fabulous pictures, and 0-la-la, would you belive that we left the apartment without the chip in our camera! I was the last to use it so […]
Surprise, Serendipity and Strolling in Paris
Dear Friends, Today has been such fun, the kind of day we truly love. First of all, the weather is glorious: clear, crisp, cool and made for outdoor adventure. Before we left the apartment, I was making us a ham and cheese omelet for lunch when Bernie burst into the apartment just as the omelet […]
Autumn cool has arrived in Paris
Bonsoir mes amis, Charles and Judy Gattis left Paris this morning to catch their plane at Orly. We put them in the cab with many hugs and well wishes after eight glorious days exploring together.

Montmartre: A Paris Gem

It is what I fondly call “old Paris” and the […]
Paris Perfect Day
Bonsoir mes amis, Paris weather is absolutely beautiful, and according to the locals, making up for their August which was untypically cool and rainy! How lucky we are to benefit from this quirk of events. The leaves are starting to change, the days are shorter, and the chestnuts are EVERYWHERE, big lovely chestnuts. If you’re […]
