I feel that I can say with total confidence that my husband is my biggest fan! He supports me in all the crazy, nutty things that I do–or at least tolerates them, and for that I am grateful. Twenty-seven years of gratitude actually. On my latest adventure, taking on The Paris Traveler, he not only […]

Macaroons. I, we (everyone in my household) love these delicate morsels of deliciousness that you can find all over Paris, in many wonderful flavors, made by numerous pâtisseries. They are fluffy, airy things with a crunchy outer shell and a luscious dense, but creamy filling. They are the color of sorbets–rich but edging on translucent. […]

Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Paris, but it could. I could find some cheap flights from Paris (leaving from here is my attempt at connection) to Venice–we can be there in about 2 hours. I know of a beautiful boutique hotel, filled with antiques and Murano glass chandeliers that we could stay […]

In honor of the week long parade (défilé) of fashion, I felt I had to post this video. It showcases designs from another era and are really quite telling. Ideas, as Christian Lacroix alluded to in his interview, really do come back from the past. I would love to wear a number of the outfits you […]

I know that those of you who know me took one look at the title and thought, “Here she goes again with another ode to wine!” I’m right, aren’t I? Well, you my friends, would be wrong. Yes, I confess, wine is a part of my daily food pyramid, but being the well-rounded, versatile person […]

With all the coaxing I have been doing to get you to travel, I forgot to keep you up to date with what is going on in the city. It is Fashion Week. The city swells with media, journalists and starlets all wanting access to the people that keep Paris’ heart beat going strong–the designers. Karl […]

y series on getting oneself to Paris and finding a place to stay hopefully got some of you thinking about actually going over. I am not a travel agent and left out lots and lots of information that someone far more capable than myself would be able to provide you with. But, having gone over […]

If I could plan your trip to Paris and was allowed to select your accommodations, hands down, I would set you up in one of the hundreds of vacation apartment rentals available throughout the city. I had no idea anything like this existed until I began researching places to live when I temporarily relocated there […]

Ok, hopefully, you have found a reasonably priced flight to get you to Paris. Now, where does one hang up one’s hat once they arrive? I see you having two options: 1. Staying in a hotel or 2. Renting a vacation apartment.
I am sure all of you are familiar with staying in hotels, but […]
