While I am still catching up I thought it would be a good idea to consolidate people’s questions and comments on my posts while I was in Paris into a French Friday. I am working on my “trip report” for you for this weekend, but in the meantime, I wanted to answer your inquiries. Laurie [...]
Le sigh. Do I really have to leave Paris tomorrow? I feel like this gargoyle on top of Notre Dame as I survey Paris below. Alas, the dream must end, this trip was not supposed to be in the cards, and was completely last minute, so I am very grateful for the past few days [...]
View from a somewhat unknown area of Paris, Canal Saint-Martin. There are a lot of French movies filmed here, so the area feels quite familiar. The trees had nice autumn colors. We walked up the canal to Bastille, where we had lunch at one of the famous brasseries, Bofinger.
Saturday Six will be back next week when I return from Paris. Here is a lovely view from Pont Neuf as my husband and I walked from Les Jardin Tuileries to our hotel in Montparnasse (LONG walk!). The color of the sky was gorgeous! The weather has been crisp, with rain off and on, this [...]
Surprise! Today I am off on a last-minute trip to Paris! I am leaving this afternoon and will be back on December 1st! Because I already did an outreach for December guest-posters, and my trip was so last-minute, I will be posting a photo-of-the-day from Paris along with a few posts that I created ahead [...]
This past week the Paris Tourism Board released this short film, “Kisses From Paris” by French actor/director Yvan Attal.

I receive quite a few and have my favorites and thought I would share them with you. One of my absolute [...]
If you are lucky enough to be in Paris now you would be able to catch a peek of the famous Le Crazy Horse cabaret show at Printemps department store window. Not quite the same as the Christmas displays at Macy’s, this randier version highlights the talents of one of the oldest cabaret shows in [...]
Picking up from last week’s French Friday: Non to McMona Lisa I wanted to offer better suggestions for eating American food in Paris. I understand that visitors to Paris may not like French food and would prefer to eat something they are more familiar with, but rather than go to a restaurant that you can [...]
Still having crazy weeks at work which will continue through out October, so no time for a longer FF post. I am sad to report that McDonald’s will be moving into a spot in the Carrousel du Louvre, which is an underground shopping center within the Louvre complex. The architecture of this shopping center is [...]
Bonjour!
