Last week, friends of my parents called to ask me where they could find good jazz in Paris. I was able to direct them to one place I had been and was certain they could be recommended to others once they visited my selection. They reported back, that yes, indeed they had a great time […]

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 […]
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!
