As I wrote in my first post about the Coupe du Monde de Rugby, I was not interested in watching the games and said I would rather do some serious shopping instead! Well, can I help it if rugby fever just took over Paris big-time and swept me up along with it?!
After yesterday’s match with […]

I never thought that I would be writing more than one post about rugby on my blog, but can I help it if Paris fans continue to grow as Les Bleus continue to win! I mean when even the statues in Paris begin to wear rugby T-shirts or you see T-shirts suspended in the middle […]

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 […]

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!

Once again we have a theme day here at the Travel & Culture Channel and the theme happens to be the NFL. Well as far as I’m concerned, neither football or American football interest me very much….that is of course unless France is doing well and there’s a possibility of them going all the […]

Wondering what to do with the kids while it seems all of Paris is asleep? Okay, not asleep, but gone off for the summer holidays….then the Fête des Tuileries is just the place to go!

….and now you do again! It’s like a magical ferris wheel doing a disappearing and reappearing act these past few years! The big wheel as many call it was built for the millennium celebrations in 1999 and was suppose to stay at the Place de la Concorde for only a year. That one year turned […]
