Square Georges Cain

It seems that more sun is in the forecast for Paris this coming week. A favorite spot of mine to enjoy the sun is the Square Georges Cain, 7 rue Payenne, 75003 in the Marais. This sweet little park has a variety of interesting sculptures along with a decent number of benches. An added bonus…

One of my favorite places to take a break from the busy streets and sites of Paris is the Jardin du Palais-Royal. It is just off rue Saint- Honoré about two blocks north of the Louvre. This peaceful park never seems to get too busy and has quite a few benches to enjoy the formally…

One of my favorite tours that I took in Paris was of the Palais Garnier (8 Rue Scribe, 75009). Not only is it gorgeous (and just a stone throw's away from the grand department stores), it has an intriguing history. Napoleon III was responsible for the plan to build a new Paris opera house with…

It might sound odd, but I do enjoy a good font. So when I spied the Musée des Lettres and Manuscrits on the Boulevard Saint Germain (222 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75007), I thought I might see some interesting fonts.

A visit to the Palais Galliera (10 avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie, 75016) has been on my list for awhile now. It was closed for renovations for the last 3-years and just re-opened its doors. This museum of fashion has close to 70,000 pieces from the 18th century to the present day. I am particularly intrigued…

I love Paris during the holidays. Holiday decorations can be found on just about every street corner. I think the best way to admire them is take a nighttime stroll. Be sure to look what lies beyond the store fronts and entryways, and you are sure to find hidden treasures like the decorations below that…

Spring 2014 Fashion Week is almost wrapped up in Paris. As I see the reviews for different designers on various fashion blogs, I am reminded of the time when I had the chance to hang outside the Valentino show in the Tuileries Garden a few years ago. It was the best people watching! I highly recommend checking…

Today is a good day to start something new, so A BONJOUR begins with one of my most favorite memories in Paris. Cruising along La Seine is a fantastic way to see many of the historic sites in Paris including not only Le Tour Eiffel, but the Le Musée d'Orsay, Le Louvre and La Cathédrale Notre Dame. There…
