Bonne Année

 With only a few posts under my belt, it is hard to look back over the year as to what the Paris Traveler has been.  Lynn, the previous author, has moved on to fulfill some of her hopes and dreams and I wish her well.  
What I can do is look ahead to 2008 with […]

The Magic of Paris

When we first fall in love, that excitement, that spark, which evokes so many feelings in us nevertheless fades over time, but for some reason the magic seems to burn and to linger on awhile longer in Paris.

A Sign of Reflection

Who hasn’t had a long, busy day - then you’re stuck in traffic, just wanting to get home? And there you see it! You’re reminded that you are, afterall, in the City of Love and it brings a smile to your face the rest of the way home!

Place de Furstenberg

 
The first time I saw this lovely little square hidden near l’Église Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it was a warm summer evening and a young French troubadour was playing his guitar and singing to an audience of people watching him from their apartment windows. I stopped to listen…..
What can I say…..I, too, was young. Our eyes met and he […]

Les Bouquinistes de Paris

 
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 […]

Companions - Quai des Grands Augustins

 
I’ve always loved Paris in the Winter when the days are mostly grey and night falls quickly. I stumbled upon this photo by Rita Crane and not only did her photograph capture me, but also her words both in French and in English. I could not have said it better. Thank you Rita for this special […]

Simple Joys, Simple Pleasures

If only we could just stop our busy lives from time to time and savor the simple joys, the simple pleasures, we once knew as children….like riding the ponies at the Jardin du Luxembourg.

A Kiss

 
Paris, as I’ve said before, is full of special moments. Yet, what makes this city so electric, so palpable with romantic energy? Is it the Seine flowing through the heart of Paris? Is it the Eiffel Tower sparkling like a diamond against the evening sky? Is it the food, the wine, the music, the art, that […]

Special Moments

What I love about Paris is that it’s made up of many special moments. Moments where you feel like part of a tableau vivant, or just caught up in a wonderful, fully aware, moment where you realize that you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world, but right where you are.
It could be […]
