With all the coaxing I have been doing to get you to travel, I forgot to keep you up to date with what is going on in the city. It is Fashion Week. The city swells with media, journalists and starlets all wanting access to the people that keep Paris’ heart beat going strong–the designers. Karl […]
I have been meaning to share this and kept forgetting. This is what greets me each morning as my computer kicks into gear and I get my day going. It’s a web cam that is perched on top of Trocodero pointing sort of west (I did not come into this world armed […]
History tells us that Benjamin Franklin loved Paris. And the Parisians loved him as well. During his tenure as U.S. ambassador to France, he was hugely popular in the court of Louis XVI for his brilliance yet he stayed true to his humble background. He won the support of the French in the American War […]
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 […]
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 […]

There are 92 photographs […]

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 […]
Someone asked me yesterday where they could find a place in Paris that had everything close by. I responded, “Do you mean like a mall?!” What they were looking for was a place where you could shop, eat, visit a museum, and sit outside without walking all over Paris to do it.
