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 […]

Beaujolais Nouveau 2007!

Party plans are going on in every bar and restaurant in Paris for one of the most celebrated festivites of the Fall.  So,….better make your reservations as soon as you can, and don’t count on President Sarkozy to be one of the people celebrating! Mr. Sarko is a teetotaler in case you didn’t know. As a matter of […]

How To Travel Safely

I received an e-mail today from Instant World Booking, a travel website that I found interesting and helpful, especially for travelers leaving their country for the first time to travel abroad. The post is about (what else!) “How to Travel Safely”!
It’s worth reading, even for experienced travelers. You can click here to read their post and I […]

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, […]

The Cour Saint-Pierre

A few people have written to me asking about the Cour Saint-Pierre since I’ve mentioned it in a few of my posts. Well to be honest with you, I could have written about this little passageway a lot more than I actually have. As I wrote in Fête de la Musique, I was living in the 17e for a […]

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.

Rodin Museum

This is one of my favorite museums in Paris, not surprising since Rodin is one of my favorite sculptors. I, also, love the work by Rodin’s student, lover, model, and inspiration, Camille Claudel, but unfortunately, unless you can wait until next year, her work will be on loan in Madrid until mid-January. (Which reminds me, if […]

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 […]
