Over the weekend, I worked on booking my next trip to Paris which will be in mid-February. My last visit was in November and before that May, so it is quickly becoming second nature for me to be going back and forth–Yeah! If you have never done it, here are some thoughts and sites to […]

I let things slide last week and didn’t challenge your knowledge (or mine for that matter) about Paris but now’s the time to fire up your brain cells.

A number of beautiful and not-so-beautiful bridges carry pedestrians and traffic back and forth between the right and left bank and onto […]
There’s lots of ways to get around Paris–traditionally walking is good, using the metro and walking is good or taking the bus and walking is good too. Even a combination of the three–which I always try to avoid–is not as good, but works.
If, however, you are a bit more adventurous and want to make […]
Today I was doing some research regarding Paris and came across some amazing photos of the city taken during the “Exposition Universelle de 1900″.

L’Hôtel de Ville de Paris, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, would be considered the equivalent of a “town hall” in North America.

I have been meaning to share this and kept forgetting. This is what greets me each morning as my computer kicks into gear and I get my day going. It’s a web cam that is perched on top of Trocodero pointing sort of west (I did not come into this world armed […]
The title sounds like some big heavy weight fight being held in some casino in Las Vegas, but really it is a much gentler battle between–notebooks! Back to school shopping is a big deal in our house. We all love buying new pens, pencils, folders and notebooks. A new semester starting this past week meant new […]
History tells us that Benjamin Franklin loved Paris. And the Parisians loved him as well. During his tenure as U.S. ambassador to France, he was hugely popular in the court of Louis XVI for his brilliance yet he stayed true to his humble background. He won the support of the French in the American War […]
