Rugby Fever catches on as the XV de France advances by beating the much favored New Zealand All Blacks in a major upset, 20-18! No one would have given France a chance, in you know where, to end up victorious, especially when the All Blacks were leading by 13-0 in the first half; but les […]
If you’ve been following the rugby matches then you know that this week-end (Oct. 6) France will be in the quarter finals of the Coupe du Monde de Rugby against the New Zealand All Blacks. Talk about psyching out the opponent, the All Blacks have a monopoly on this market with the Haka Kapa O […]
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 […]
For the 30th year (!) the 16k race from la Tour Eiffel to the Château de Versailles will take place on the 30th of September with more than 20,000 runners participating. The race begins at 10h00 at the base of the Eiffel Tower with a fanfare of music for the send off. The finish line […]
The Rue Mouffetard, which Parisians call “La Mouffe” has been written about and immortalized in poems and songs. It is afterall one of the oldest streets in Paris, with homes dating back to the Middle Ages, but for me it’s a great little street to hang out in for a good part of a day […]
This year the Fête de l’Humanité takes place the 14, 15, and 16th of September at the Parc de la Courneuve, and like other years has a list of celebrities and activities all lined up for this three day affair! Last year there were more than a half a million people who attended, 550 stands, over […]
The Fête à Neu Neu going on in the Bois de Boulogne is one of the oldest fairs in Paris that was started in 1815 by Napoléon I. If you love rides and attractions, then this is the place to be. If you’re a jazz lover, then this is the place to be. If you don’t […]
I recently mention in my theme day blog that I was a fair weather fan of football and American football, stating that if France was playing in the World Cup, or the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Superbowl, then I became interested like everyone else. So! You can imagine how interested I am in rugby!
The […]
September with a hint of autumn in the air. I love strolling along the Seine stopping every now and again to see if I can find a rare gem among the used books being sold by those ever present booksellers in Paris called les bouquinistes.
After hundreds of years of controversy, they finally became a permanent […]
There are still a few days left to enjoy the long days of summer. If you love music be sure to drop on by the courtyard of the Hôtel d’Albret to listen to some great music. The concerts are put on by city hall and Radio France Musique; last day is the 31st of August. Concert […]
