My Life in Paris and Travels Around France
When Dalton and I were locked out on Monday we decided it would be fun to do a question and answer. Since Dalton was available for questions, a lot of them were about him and what it’s like having a dog in Paris in general. Romain luckily came and rescued us before we could answer all of the questions so we’ll finish them here!
Happy Friday from France. The talk of this week was largely about the impending reconfinement in France. As it turns out, we are going to be under a version of lockdown in Paris (and other regions of France, although not nationally) for the next four weeks. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France is all food and market related. It features my new go-to French Apple Cider Vinegar, Dior Book Tote inspired Rive Gauche bags, the new Let’s Eat France book and more!
The pandemic has been in France and around the world for more than a year, but for me today is the anniversary. On the evening of March 16th, 2020 President Macron announced the first lockdown, for an initial period of 15 days. Romain, Dalton and I were already in Normandy, soon to be joined by more of Romain’s family.
This week spring blooms have continued to pop up around Paris. It’s a very welcome sight, and especially against the increasingly grey sky. We have lots of rain predicted in the forecast for the next week and afterwards I’m sure the city will be looking especially green. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France includes Le Voltaire’s à emporter menu, the best umbrella for Paris, an adorable set of Hotel Magique for Anthropologie French-inspired glasses and more.
The sun has been shining in Paris this week which made it go by quicker without a doubt. Our taste of warmer weather is gone, but I’m actually excited to bundle up and have a few more fires. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France features a new Andy Warhol exhibit in Paris, a video of live music in Saint-Germain-des-Prés last weekend, a French take on the viral TikTok pasta and more.
