Timely Travel Tips

 
Many of you are gearing up for summer travel and some of it might include Paris.  Lucky you if it does!

I Think Spitting Will Be Involved

Since there isn’t a France Traveler and I am already in Paris, I am going to take it upon myself to nudge us outside city limits and discover other parts of this country.  It isn’t ALL about Paris!   Yes, it is crummy work, but someone has to do it.   Oh, alright, I guess […]

Some Additional Travel Thoughts

 y series on getting oneself to Paris and finding a place to stay hopefully got some of you thinking about actually going over.  I am not a travel agent and left out lots and lots of information that someone far more capable than myself would be able to provide you with.  But, having gone over […]

Up, Up and Away: A Different Way of Doing Things.

If I could plan your trip to Paris and was allowed to select your accommodations, hands down, I would set you up in one of the hundreds of vacation apartment rentals available throughout the city.  I had no idea anything like this existed until I began researching places to live when I temporarily relocated there […]

Up, Up and Away: Part Deux

 
Ok, hopefully, you have found a reasonably priced flight to get you to Paris.  Now, where does one hang up one’s hat once they arrive?  I see you having two options:  1.  Staying in a hotel or 2. Renting a vacation apartment.

Up, Up and Away

Over the weekend, I worked on booking my next trip to Paris which will be in mid-February.  My last visit was in November and before that May, so it is quickly becoming second nature for me to be going back and forth–Yeah!  If you have never done it, here are some thoughts and sites to […]

National Holidays in France

If you are planning a trip to Paris or any part of France, I think it’s important that you know when holidays take place there.  Important because if you happen to be there on one, it will sort of count as a non-day.  What I mean is, many things are closed on these days (stores, […]

Three Charming Hotels in the Latin Quarter

When people ask me what part of Paris is the best to stay in, my answer is always the same.  The Latin Quarter, of course!  (And no, it’s not a Latino neighborhood!  I’ve been asked that, so don’t laugh!) The Quartier Latin got its name hundreds of years ago when Latin was an official language […]

Twelve Famous Restaurants in Paris That Won’t Break the Bank

Usually I prefer to write about restaurants in Paris that are good, or unique, but not that well-known.  This time I thought I would write about some famous restaurants I’ve tried and as the title of this post says, won’t break the bank!  Some are cheaper, others are more expensive, but none are like L’ Arpège, […]
