This week was a busy one, filled with an excitement in the air that’s been missing for quite some time. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France covers a lot including delicious Normandy market strawberries, the reopening of outdoor dining among other things in France, a must-have new book: Life in a French Country House: Entertaining for All Seasons and more!
Le Saint Germain: A Favorite Paris Café
If I could only ever go to one café in Paris for the rest of my life, I’d pick Le Saint Germain. It ticks all of the boxes – great location, strong coffee, friendly people, and it’s always open. I fell in love with this Left Bank spot on my first trip to Paris. Since then, I’ve become a regular.
Five Friday Finds from France: May 14th
Happy Friday from Normandy! Thursday was a holiday in France so many people faire le pont (make the bridge) between Thursday and Saturday to have an extra long four day weekend. There are no complaints here! This week’s Five Friday Finds from France includes an incredible cookie to try in Paris, a French road trip essential: the gas station, my quest to find green Tabasco and more.
Five Friday Finds from France: May 7th
It seems like the first week in May is usually rainy in Paris. We are very much in the thick of that right now. It’s not completely pouring and totally unbearable, although it isn’t the lovely April in Paris anymore. This week’s Five Friday finds from France features two new Paris books – Paris: From the Air and All the Buildings in Paris: That I’ve Drawn So Far, a major fraises de bois find at Eataly, Truff Truffle hot sauce and more!
A Walk Through the Tuileries Garden in the Spring
I originally wrote this post from Normandy in 2020 and noted that my two favorite times of year to walk through the Tuileries Garden are the spring and fall. It’s true, out of the four seasons spring and fall are my favorites for a stroll though the Tuileries. However, I can now say with certainty that spring is the most glorious season to watch unfold day by day.
