Weekend Links Week 18 is a mix of fashion (following Paris Fashion Week), odes to travel in France, with a side of Emily in Paris – because everyone is talking about it! I particularly enjoyed Kate Mosse’s piece on Carcassonne, you almost feel like you’re there. I hope you enjoy and would love to know if you have a favorite from this week!
