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 don’t know about you, but the one I go to in my town is circa 1960’s cinder-block: metal folding chairs, fading linoleum, a few vending machines. Nothing like […]
A few people have written to me asking about the Cour Saint-Pierre since I’ve mentioned it in a few of my posts. Well to be honest with you, I could have written about this little passageway a lot more than I actually have. As I wrote in Fête de la Musique, I was living in the 17e for a […]
This is one of my favorite museums in Paris, not surprising since Rodin is one of my favorite sculptors. I, also, love the work by Rodin’s student, lover, model, and inspiration, Camille Claudel, but unfortunately, unless you can wait until next year, her work will be on loan in Madrid until mid-January. (Which reminds me, if […]
Hey, it’s not always glitz and glamour in Paris! Sometimes when you walk around, you just don’t know what you’re going to come across, and to be honest with you, depending on the circumstances you’re not really sure if what you’re seeing is really what you’re seeing! I mean, if you’ve had a little too […]
If you’re thinking of coming to Paris soon, then you’re right in time for this year’s Nuit Blanche which takes place October 6! “Nuit blanche” (white night) is an expression meaning, “staying up all night.” More often than not it’s used in the context of “partying all night.” I mean, come on, we’re in Paris […]
A few days ago I received an e-mail from Arnaud Contreras and Alain Dister about their homage to the American writer, Jack Kerouac, who coined the term, “Beat Generation”. I was asked if I wanted to contribute something (a poem, a drawing, a song, etc.) to participate in this exhibit entitled, Memory Babe, A Tribute […]
There’s only a few days left to see the Good Planet photo exhibit by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and a large number of other photographers specializing in animal photography. The exhibit takes place right outside the Musée du Quai Branly and deals with the impact that animals have on man and our planet.
There are 92 photographs […]
You might not know his work by name, but you’ve surely seen some of his most famous paintings. Arcimboldo was well ahead of his time to be the first modern painter hundreds of years before Picasso and the father of surrealism centuries before Salvador Dali.
Well there’s great news for everyone who loves this XVI century […]
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. […]
The Travel Channel at b5media has another theme day. Our mission: write your best article on, or about, the best of something. Well when you’re talking about Paris, trying to pick the best of anything is like asking a parent, “Which child do you love best?”
Impossible to answer, right?! As any well-adjusted parent will tell you, they “love […]
