I apologize for the lack of posting on Instagram. Besides regular work, I had three bonus trips to the Prefecture this week, which are always so enjoyable. Everything seems to be worked out now which is great, because we left for Normandy Thursday evening. It’s always wonderful to be here, and I’m pretty sure given the choice Boomer would never go back to Paris again. Although he would miss all of the bonus treats he gets from his friends at Le Voltaire and Les Antiquaires. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 19 include a look at some stunning Chanel sets, fabulous hotel rooms on the French Riviera and a guide to Antibes. Enjoy!
