Rue Visconti

Such an enormous history for such a little street! The Rue Visconti has been filled with notoriety for hundreds of years. Not only have famous writers, painters, and other historical figures lived here, but this small passageway has also been painted, photographed, filmed and revered. Numbers 17-19 have seen more than its fair share of famous […]

Paris Plage

Okay, so you can’t decide if you want to go to the beach or to Paris for your summer holidays, then think again! Paris has its own beach and this year it’s getting even bigger!
It use to be when you thought of Paris Plage, you thought of Le Touquet! Not anymore! For the past five […]

Chaud Show

As I mentioned in one of my other blogs, I have a number of good friends, mostly artists and entertainers, from the years I’ve lived in the Cour Saint-Pierre. Odri is one of those friends. I’ve known her since she was a young teenager who would come to my apartment after school and talk to me […]

Paris Jazz Festival

Are you looking for something to do during the weekend while you’re visiting the City of Lights? If you love jazz like I do, then the Parc Floral is the place to be. What better way to spend the afternoon or early evening then to sit in the open air and listen to great jazz […]

Le Bourget - The 47th International Paris Air Show

I love the Paris air show and I can’t tell you how many I’ve attended. It just so happens that two of my exes are involved in these shows. One works for Dassault Aviation.  The other is the preferred architect, that for more than a decade has built the pavilion which houses the exhibit, by the […]

Paris After Drinking

Were you thinking this?
No, this is what Paris looks like after a night on the town! It’s really a good thing that this city has one of the best public transportation systems and taxis services anywhere, so you don’t need to drive drunk! Maybe I should send this post to Paris Hilton?
Okay, […]

Tag! You’re It!

Okay, I’ll admit when I first read that I was tagged, I didn’t really know what that meant, but SP at Southern Byways tagged me for a meme, and so I figured I would tag some of the newer members of b5, and of course, those I like to read.
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits […]

Paris Hilton Sleeping in Comfort

Am I trying to horn in on publicity that just doesn’t belong in this blog? You’re darn tootin’ I am! Think about it, Paris Hilton will be spending heaven only knows how many days in jail without the comforts she’s accustomed to. It’s sort of ironic when you think that she could be staying in […]

Paris Connection

People who are constantly traveling know that having a wi-fi connection is such a blessing! Especially if you need that internet connection all the time, and who in this day and age doesn’t?! As I happen to be traveling at the moment, it would be nice if wi-fi was available everywhere, but that’s not the […]
