I’ve mentioned before, I am a bigger fan of Paris when the sun goes down and the city is bathed in a beautiful golden hue from all the creative lighting they use. Certainly not eco-friendly and plans are in the works to dim some of that glow. I suggest you get here sooner than later […]
Le Petit Palais, sibling of Le Grand Palais located right across the street, is the proverbial story of flamboyant, older sister getting all the attention and right behind, getting lost in all the elder’s drama, is the tiny flower of a girl whose beauty is total and complete and goes unappreciated until one uncovers it.

In my quest to come up with the unusual that will entertain and bring all of us together in weird and wacky ways to Paris, I have found this very interesting connection between what has become an icon in contemporary culture, two architects and a museum in Paris.
Tinker Hatfield (I could not love that name […]
I am a lover of art in all its forms. When I step inside the Louvre, I stand in the central court and struggle with which wing to enter first. I know, no one out there is boo-hooing over my dilemma. Living in Paris allows one the luxury of taking in ancient Egypt one day […]
Well, finding Paris in New York is much easier than I thought–especially if you take your search to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today, I took an incredibly long cab ride from my hotel in SoHo to the museum–clearly I was being ripped off as the ride home took a mere 10 minutes. The rest of […]
Le Bon Marché, considered the world’s first department store, offering “the good market” or “the good deal” was founded in 1838 by Aristide Boucicaut. It is touted as the first “space” dedicated specifically to shopping and was the first to incorporate iron work (thanks to Gustave Eiffel) to create an open space while using less […]

I am fairly up on art, sculpture, design–artsy fartsy kinds of things you might say. But I cannot tell a lie, I have never heard of Richard Serra. Or if I have it just isn’t registering with me right now and I will have to ask my resident art expert, my daughter, Taylor.
Richard Serra–he is an […]
Yesterday as I was walking through the Tuilleries, I spied some heavy duty cranes in the distance (the kind you build skyscrapers with). That seemed odd and out of character for the gardens but much work was being done to get the grounds ready for spring. As I got closer, more than just cranes appeared….

No, the title isn’t a result of having my fingers misplaced on my keyboard wanting to type Yyptf Nppmyro instead, which of course is something I would do. Tord Boontje is an amazing designer whose work I have fallen in love with. I have wanted to share him with you and found a way to […]
