My Life in Paris and Travels Around France
I’m trying to figure out where time is going and how we’re already nearing the end of August. It feels like we’re already a couple of months into fall after the most bizarre August in Paris that I can remember. This week’s Five Friday Finds from France features a book on the Napoleon III Apartments in the Louvre, where to find Texas BBQ in Paris, and believe it or not, the Bonne Maman 2021 Advent Calendar.
Bon week-end from a very hot Paris! Some of my favorite articles from Weekend Links Week 33 include a look at the 2024 Paris Olympics venues, how to get the French health pass, a list of 10 cafés with great terraces in Paris, and bien sûr, a bucket list round-up of 37 French desserts to master. I hope you enjoy!
After what felt like an eternity of rain and clouds, summer is finally back in Paris. All week I’ve been planning to spend my Friday outside, hopefully sans laptop. Believe it or not I’m already starting to see signs of fall so I want to take full advantage of the warm weather and sun while it’s here. Five Friday Finds from France features a truly heavenly almond croissant, a Seine-side restaurant near Pont Neuf, how to get a French health pass (very important if you’re coming to France soon!) and more.
I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for spring, probably because that’s what the weather has felt like. I think the rain is going away and the temperatures are going up next week, fingers crossed! Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 32 include the history of the Louis Vuitton trunks, a fabulous list of places to stay in Saint Tropez, a good list of things to know before traveling to Paris, café gourmands at five different Parisian cafés and more! I hope you enjoy.
Paris was quiet this week after many people headed out for August vacations. Another round of restaurants and cafés plan to close after this weekend for several weeks so it will only get more quiet. I enjoy August here, although I do find myself wishing I was heading somewhere warm for the month. I’ve actually been wearing a coat this week! Five Friday Finds from France features a Caudalie recycling program with a bonus, an update on my window ledge garden, a new place to buy Ruinart in Paris and more.
