Bonjour, Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and we’re both wishing we were in Paris. Last year we celebrated together at the lovely restaurant atop Georges Pompidou museum. It’s a chic spot called Le Georges with an incredible view of the city. Carson, my grandson, ordered a piece of salmon and loved it. Not bad for […]
Bonjour, Sometimes, it’s better to let pictures tell a story…the afternoon in Montmartre and then the evening for dinner at Le Train Bleu. I’ll describe the day in captions as we go through it. There are so many photos I had to reduce the size. I think you can click on them to enlarge. Hope […]
Bonjour, Yesterday was a day to rejoice, to greet, to share memories, to laugh, to eat…oh yes, did I say eat? All of the birthday company has arrived, and we are pretending to run around like we are 50 instead of ancient! Happy 80th Birthday, Bernie!! The celebration continues as November 15 is his actual […]
Bonjour, Before I take a blogging break, we wanted to share our final day with the Ludwigs. We put them in a cab at 7:30 this morning (Monday) and wish them safe travels with no drama! We spent Sunday morning at a very wet Bastille market which was disappointing. It’s hard to negotiate an umbrella […]
Bonjour mes amis It’s hard for one day to capture so much energy and enthusiasm, but yesterday accomplished that for us! Natalie is a sleeper and a night owl so we let her indulge until about 9:45 this morning. Paris time would work great for her body clock…up very late at night, breakfast at 10, […]
Bonjour, First, let me thank each of you who make comments about the blog both on my website as well as on Facebook. They are so appreciated and even when I’m exhausted, spur me to keep writing and posting. It’s a fun part of being in Paris for us. Forgive me for not replying to each […]
Bonjour mes amis, Yesterday was a cool, cloudy day in Paris, remaining in the low 70’s most of the day. We assisted our guests with their laundry, and then Bernie and I did all the necessary grocery shopping for a party this evening in the apartment for friends and neighbors. Jim & Peggy Bilbro arrived […]
Bonjour mes amis, Inevitabley, we are tourists, mais oui? And we still enjoy what some locals might find rather gauche. Our attitude is to embrace what is fun and enjoyable regardless of how it might rate on the Parisian sophistication scale. Dinner at Le Train Bleu is an example and was our way to create a […]
Bonjour, We found a way to make our central focus yesterday in Paris about food! That’s not hard to do in this wonderful place. Our friend Jan was only able to join us for dinner, but we enjoyed the earlier part of the day with Tony. Our stop for lunch was the Terrace of the Plaza […]
