If you are a regular reader of The Paris Traveler, then you know that there is a special place in my heart for the gendarmes (police officers) that one finds keeping the streets of Paris safe for citizens and tourists alike. I say a special place, because I do believe, aside from being model citizens […]
We’re not in Paris today and that is probably a good thing since the weather is not cooperating and being its crappy Parisian self. Beautiful things sometimes think they can get away with that….being crappy and still be loved. Not with me they can’t. So, I decided we need to get out of town and […]
I have a great deal of admiration for the way the French embrace their cultural heritage. Often times, they stubbornly cling to ideas that came to life hundreds of years ago, having been passed down from generation to generation which to those of us looking in, can seem outdated. And yet, you cannot convince them […]
If you are touring Paris and have become overwhelmed with museums, statues, historically significant art and architecture, which can easily happen, I have something that is still a feast for the eyes and you can leave the guidebooks in the hotel.
La Foire de Paris (The Paris Trade Fair) is a huge gathering of […]
Put your pencils down people. You have had plenty of time to try and figure out how my mind works….if indeed you have figured that out, please let me in on the secret, ok? So, answers to this week’s haiku:

Here you have a […]
The minute I saw this bronze in the gardens at Musée Rodin, I thought, “Aha, an ancient game of rock, paper, scissors being played by well-built naked men. How fun!” I had to capture the moment for my family as we play this game (with our clothes on) to determine all kinds of things–who pays for […]
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 […]
Who wouldn’t want to have a four star French chef in their kitchen everyday of the week cooking for them? Well, if you’re not as lucky as I am, you can always go to the Carrousel du Louvre for the Salon Cuisinez!
There you’ll find everything you’ll ever want to know about cooking from top chefs […]
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 carry on a love affair with chocolate, then I’ve got a rendez-vous for you! The 13th annual Salon du Chocolat will take place starting in Paris, then New York, Moscow, Beijing, and ending in Tokyo. (Hmm! Did I disappoint some of you who clicked on here?!)
Not if you’re a chocolate lover! The Salon […]
