If you happen to be heading over to Paris this month, be warned that you are going to see an amazing amount of signs similar to this one, telling patrons that yes, indeed, it is August, we are French and by God, we are going on vacation for the entire month!! That’s it. Shops and […]
Pétanque, is a game that captivates Frenchmen ( I am alluding to the male species as I have never seen women playing). If you see a gaggle of men looking at the ground in various parks and gravelly areas throughout Paris and France, with very serious and concerned looks on their faces, you can pretty […]

As I go along my merry way through the land of the Internet, I come across all sorts of crazy and/or unnecessary things that would be fun to have or just fun to know that they exist.
I am fairly certain that no one would actually use this anymore, but it would be so fun to […]
As I sit here with a cup of coffee and various newspapers on a sunny, Sunday morning, not in a hurry to do anything in particular, I have decided to stick to the little ritual of sending you off to other parts of the web so you can leisurely read through some interesting articles about […]
First off, I just have to say that I could not love this graphic more and would chop it all up and use it a million different ways in crazy collages or decoupaged on a pendent to create a necklace or bracelet charm. Too much fun. The guy is Napoleon and Musée des Arts décoratifs […]
Okay, so you can’t decide if you want to go to the beach or to Paris for your summer holidays, then think again! Paris has its own beach and this year it’s getting even bigger!
