Previously, I have mentioned Palais Royal, my most favorite spot in Paris, along with Concorde, the Tuileries, Jardin du Luxembourg…..maybe I should just go with, all of PARIS is my favorite spot! I don’t think anyone who knows me would argue with that.
Now that I got that off my chest, back to Palais Royal…and Le Prince […]
I am finding that I tend to be a very sensorial person, scents and tastes are easy to identify for me and a flavor from the past can evoke memories that are as strong as the moment they actually happened. For instance, this past week, I found a bag of Swedish crisp breads that my […]
Americans, according to a survey done by Expedia-Harris Poll of 4000 hotel managers from around the world, come in first place (don’t we always want to win?) at being the rudest tourists. We complain the most when it comes to accommodations and are the worst dressed–no real surprise there. We also are among the least tidy […]
This is an image from a webcam–Paris-live.com, that I came across when I turned my computer on the other night. I go to this page at least twice a day to see what’s happening and never has it looked like this. I did nothing to alter the image other than crop it a smidge. It […]
As crazy as this sounds, the Bibliothèque Nationale, or National Library, is worth a visit while in Paris. Maybe not on your first visit while you are trying to get through the basics, but certainly your second or third time over you should try and get there. Don’t think just “library” as there are temporary and […]
I found this picture on a wine blog that I visit and had to post it as this is a fabulous example of what the French refer to as “terroir” which is the hard to translate, somewhat nebulous term used to describe all the physical elements that come together in creating a wine. Think of […]
I am not in Paris right now….for good reason. Years ago, the planets aligned themselves in such a way so that in the year 2008, I would have three daughters all graduating from high school or college (and going to prom) within a span of three weeks. This weekend, my amazing, fantastic, loving, creative, kind-hearted […]
Champagne: love it as much as I love wine. Pink or white, I am a fan of both as long as it’s chilled and bubbly! It is the quintessential definition of celebration. Over the next few weeks, there are many happy reasons for my family to be popping the corks on bottles as we toast […]
Prom, 2008. It has come and gone. Last night, my daughter’s high school held the annual event that all high school students (mostly the girls who drag the guys) look forward to. It is a month long planning process of dresses, shoe and jewelry shopping. Hair, manicures and tanning may or may not be thrown […]
