The Eiffel Tower workers are at it night and day getting ready for their new lighting arrangement. This view was taken at 1:45am. At last check, only 5 of the 27 stars were up.

No, we’re not back in high school algebra trying to solve for X. If we were, I would be running as fast and far away as I could.
Starting June 30th, the Eiffel tower is going to be lit up in blue to celebrate the six month presidency of the European Union. The EU, consisting […]

This is an image from a webcam–Paris-live.com, that I came across when I turned my computer on the other night. I go to this page at least twice a day to see what’s happening and never has it looked like this. I did nothing to alter the image other than crop it a smidge. It […]

It has been brought to my attention that not just anyone would lie in bed, worrying about life’s little odds and ends and come up with something like “Paris Haiku” for a post. ”Just how exactly does your mind work?” I was asked and if I had the answer I might pursue being more normal. […]

Looks weird, doesn’t it? A space age Eiffel Tower? Well, yes and no. This is the winning entry submitted by the French architecture firm, Serero, that will be restructuring the observation deck on the tower’s third level in celebration of its 120th anniversary next year.

Magnificent, over-the-top gorgeous! What do you think I am talking about? It could be a million things the way my mind works but specifically, I am talking about today in Paris. Sunny, warm, not a cloud in the sky and everyone out and about enjoying every second of it.
All these people lounging […]

Oodles of things are being revealed to me as I make my way through the streets of Paris looking at it through different eyes this trip–the eyes of a blogger having to write about what she sees on the the streets of Paris.
For one thing, I realize that I am very uncomfortable taking pictures of […]

Europe has had the idea that more compact (as in cars) can be a good thing. Epecially when you live in a big city and parking is a constant headache like it is in Paris. I remember seeing my first Smart car in th mid-90’s and was baffled that someone would want to drive something […]

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.
I am sure all of you are familiar with staying in hotels, but […]

There’s lots of ways to get around Paris–traditionally walking is good, using the metro and walking is good or taking the bus and walking is good too. Even a combination of the three–which I always try to avoid–is not as good, but works.
If, however, you are a bit more adventurous and want to make […]
