My daughter just took a job teaching English to high school students in Dijon, France starting this fall. She has been there already in her travels, but I have not, so I thought I should do some research into where my baby is going to be living and what fun place I will get to […]
Back in July of 2007, Paris unveiled what has become a widely popular bicycle transit system, Velib, which provides citizens and visitors alike access to more than 20,000 bikes located throughout the city, that can be picked up and dropped off at any one of 750 “parking” stations. Riders select a one day card, weekly pass […]
With gas in my neck of the woods reaching $3.75 a gallon today and our currency worldwide devalued to the point of making travel, even on a budget, an extravagance, I am continuing along the line of ways to see Paris on the cheap(er).
Hôtel Saint Dominique is a delightfully charming 2-star hotel located in the 7th […]
This city is filled with all things beautiful……and unusual. Which can be the same thing depending on the eyes you are using to look at the world. Here are a few things I found to be delightful….
A vintage scooter which looks like a child’s toy, hardly suitable for traffic in Paris that on closer […]
I thought you should feel as though you are here with me so I am putting up some photos of the street that I am staying on. Located in the 6e arrondissement, it is centrally located to practically everything–Notre Dame, St-Germain-des Pres shopping area, the Louvre and Tuilleries is in walking distance as well. I […]
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.
Question:
How many bridges span the Seine river?

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 […]
I received an e-mail today from Instant World Booking, a travel website that I found interesting and helpful, especially for travelers leaving their country for the first time to travel abroad. The post is about (what else!) “How to Travel Safely”!
It’s worth reading, even for experienced travelers. You can click here to read their post and I […]
When people ask me what part of Paris is the best to stay in, my answer is always the same. The Latin Quarter, of course! (And no, it’s not a Latino neighborhood! I’ve been asked that, so don’t laugh!) The Quartier Latin got its name hundreds of years ago when Latin was an official language […]
Usually I prefer to write about restaurants in Paris that are good, or unique, but not that well-known. This time I thought I would write about some famous restaurants I’ve tried and as the title of this post says, won’t break the bank! Some are cheaper, others are more expensive, but none are like L’ Arpège, […]
