Bonjour, Yesterday was sunny most of the day which was a nice surprise! We met our friend Richard Nahem for lunch at a new crepe spot on rue de Rivoli. He has a blog many of you follow called Eye Prefer Paris. We’ve known him and his partner, Vincent, for almost 20 years! He told […]
Bonjour, Saturdays are extremely busy in the Marais because locals use this as their shopping day for goods, food and other services. Add to that the swirl and glut of tourists and the streets are almost impassable. I was just reading an article on CNN’s web site about how tourism is up dramatically all over […]
Bonjour mes amis, We are greeted this morning with so much bad news from America: COVID increases, Hurricane Ida and the situation in Afghanistan.

Everything is dusty and dry with some of the leaves dropping from trees. Hopefully, the day will bring a good downpour and […]
Bonjour, Our weekend was made for strolling because the weather has been terrific. We are hoping it will continue for at least another week or two until my son and his family complete their visit. Paris is a different city when it rains…not all bad but not at its total best. Just like at home, […]
