Is there any place on Earth that screams glamour more than the city of Cannes on the French Riviera? With its luxury shops, palatial hotels and gourmet restaurants, not to mention golden beaches filled with bikini-clad sunbathers, playboys cruising about in luxury cars and of course the annual film festival, the place is something of [...]
For those keen to indulge their passion for art while on holiday in a sun-soaked destination, it is worth considering taking a trip to the south of France. By heading to the Cote d’Azur, you’ll not only have the chance to enjoy some pleasant weather but will also gain an insight into the life and [...]
Today is Macaron Day in France! There will be lots of celebrating and lots of lines all around Paris for free macarons (here are locations). I myself am not a big fan, although I keep trying. The last time I ate one was more than a year ago when I bought a box from Ladurée [...]

Bonne année a tous ! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. Or maybe you left them behind and went to an exotic locale to escape them all! Today is actually Epiphany in France (and in other parts of the world too), and while it is a religious holiday I [...]
A few weeks ago Daisy de Plume visited us to share her passion for Paris. In that post I mentioned Daisy’s other passion, THATLou, a business she is running during her free time from her regular job and family life – pretty amazing. I wanted to share more about Daisy’s exciting project. I for one [...]

Now as a resident of the city of lights she shares her perspective and her Passion for Paris! ======================================= I am not [...]
