….and now you do again! It’s like a magical ferris wheel doing a disappearing and reappearing act these past few years! The big wheel as many call it was built for the millennium celebrations in 1999 and was suppose to stay at the Place de la Concorde for only a year. That one year turned […]
This year’s Tour de France was once again clouded with suspicion on which cyclists were using their own natural power and strength to continue the grueling journey throughout France, and which were steeped in artificial agents to help propel them ahead of everyone else.
When Alexandre Vinoukourov and his team were ousted, and then the next […]
Clara over at Tips of All Sorts has five great video clips about Kim Peek who is better know as “Rain Man” depicted by Dustin Hoffman in the awarding winning film by the same name.
It’s part of a fascinating documentary about the man, who some say is, “the world’s greatest savant.” Since the influence of […]
Should I admit that age is creeping up on me, or do I just say that with my busy schedule, I can no longer remember every little detail of things that happen in my life? I’ll take the latter! In any case, I really couldn’t tell you how I came upon photographs by Ann Forcier, […]
Friends of mine who live in this area of Paris have been wondering why I haven’t written about all the great little restaurants, bars, boutiques, art galaries and street life that goes on in the Marais.
What can I say, I’ve been meaning to, but there is so much to write about that it’s hard to know just where to begin. […]
Funny how synchronicity works in our lives. I just finished reading Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky a little over a week ago, then a few days later we […]
Just a few more days left to enjoy an evening of jazz at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre. Tonight Rhoda Scott’s Hammond organ will fill the air. The ever versatile Scott gives a blend of traditional jazz classics, French tunes, as well as Negro spirituals and Gospel from her impressive repertoire.
Tomorrow evening Lemmy […]
Funny how things change, yet they remain the same….sort of. I was going down memory lane with friends and we got on the subject of some great old hangouts on the Rue Saint Jacques; Le Who’s Bar, Polly Maggoo, and Le Cloître. I’m talking late 60’s, early 70’s when there was a whole movement going on […]
I really can’t understand what all the hype is about owning a Louis Vuitton bag! Personally, I prefer Lancel. Perhaps it’s nostagic memories of my first Lancel leather purse more than twenty years ago bought for me by one of my French admirers. Or perhaps it has more to do with the fact that although the price was […]
The last time the Ballet National de Cuba was in Paris was nearly ten years ago. This year two ballets are being presented from their repertoire at the Grand Palais, Giselle and Don Quixote. Coincidentally the Ballet de l’Opéra performed the same two ballets this season! Is this a showdown of sorts?
If you ask Hayna […]
