I’m back in Paris after a quick but wonderful work trip to Vézelay and the surrounding areas in Burgundy. I will absolutely be sharing more about what I did, where I stayed and, since it is Burgundy after all, what I ate and drank. It’s so easy to get to from Paris and I already can’t wait to go back with Romain. This is the first weekend in I’m not sure how long that I don’t have one single thing planned and it’s incredible. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 15 include an article about the beginnings of the department store aka Le Bon Marché, a review of Château Voltaire in Paris, and an ode to a French language teacher. Enjoy!
