Time To Say Good-bye

 
My decision to stop blogging at The Paris Traveler was not an easy one to say the least. Throughout the months that I’ve been blogging here I have gained a faithful readership that I am so grateful for, and I want to thank everyone who has made TPT a part of their day, but as […]

What a Difference a Country Makes!

When you think about the recent divorce between French President Sarkozy and the former First Lady, things were definitely far from cosy, to say the least! What’s interesting, however, is the way the French perceive this marital seperation and the way the American public would react if an American president were to divorce his wife after […]

Salon Cuisinez 2007

Who wouldn’t want to have a four star French chef in their kitchen everyday of the week cooking for them? Well, if you’re not as lucky as I am, you can always go to the Carrousel du Louvre for the Salon Cuisinez!
There you’ll find everything you’ll ever want to know about cooking from top chefs […]

Rendez-vous With Les Bleus, the Brits and Pavarotti?!

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 […]

Vin Chaud (Hot Wine)

I love Paris in the Fall, actually the song April in Paris would have been Autumn in Paris if I had written the lyrics. Most years there’s a period during late September - early October when the leaves are turning and the weather is warm and mild like an Indian summer and the world just […]

Twelve Cafés to Meet Parisians

Does this sound like you? You’re in Paris for only a short visit and you want to meet some locals, but you don’t know how to go about doing it. Or perhaps you want to do some networking, or maybe be discovered while you’re in the City of Lights! What about if you’re a poet….? Or a bit […]

French Women Do Get Fat

I was talking on the phone the other day with a friend who bought the bestseller “French Women Don’t Get Fat“ by Mireille Guiliano. She’s hoping to shed a few extra pounds. I told her to save herself the time and the effort, French women do get fat! I did go on to say, however, that […]

La Rentrée

As the summer winds down (although it wasn’t much of a summer weather wise) after the 15th of August Parisians begin to return home for the start of the new school year and a return to the workplace, which the French call, la Rentrée. Paris little by little begins to bustle once again with activity […]

Pet Peeve

Let me vent here a little, afterall what good is having a blog if you can’t vent, right?! I have this pet peeve that drives me crazy! I’m an avid reader and I love not only books, but also reading newspapers, magazines, other blogs, etc. but I can’t for the life of me understand why […]
