Bonjour mes amis, Much of yesterday was spent on the BBC watching the coronation of King Charles. Bernie worked a great deal with the British during his 22-year military career. To use his line…”No one does pomp and pageantry as good as the British.” I was totally enamored with the ceremony; Bernie, not so much. […]
Bonjour mes amis, First of all, merci beaucoup for the positive feedback on my blogging. Many of you commented and that was so rewarding. It does take quite a bit of my time but has become a part of my daily Paris experience. If it brings a little joy to your day, how wonderful is […]
Bonjour, Yesterday was beautiful and delightfully cooler as we started our day with eating, of course. Miss Manon is our beloved little patisserie at the corner of rue St. Paul and is just across the street from John and Sharon’s hotel. We are still hauling it back and forth on the bus, but yesterday it […]
Bonjour mes amis, The weekend is here with warmer weather for us, maybe low 80s today which feels like a heat wave! Alas, it’s August 21 and the days are getting shorter and shorter. It’s fully dark by 9:30 now as opposed to 10:30. Will have to catch those beautiful sunsets on Pont Marie earlier […]

It’s not as slow and quiet as it once was. We were here back in 2012 when the stores started to open on Sundays. Prior to that, other than […]
Bonjour, It’s so fun for us to see our Paris blog influence strengthen as we now have folks joining us from all around the world! Merci to all of you! Keep those comments coming in—ask questions, disagree, give a thumbs down—it doesn’t always have to be positive. We find each and every comment interesting! Yesterday, […]
Salut! It’s a gray Monday in Paris with intermittent light drizzle and around 60 degrees. We welcomed Bernie’s son, James, this morning and his partner, Stephen. Their studio apartment is about a 3-minute walk from us on the top floor of another 16th century building in the Marais. I’m sure they have at least 70 […]
Bonsoir, Our weekend has been easy and fun, slightly cooler with more rain! Ugh! However, we are excited to greet Bernie’s son James and his partner, Stephen, tomorrow for a two-week visit. They will be staying in an apartment very close to us, about a 3-minute walk. We are glad the river has found its […]
