For the first time in a long time I’m putting this post together from Les Antiquaires on a Saturday morning. I usually have the post finished and scheduled by Friday, but it’s a nice change to spend a quiet morning reading at a café. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 42 include news on an upcoming Marie Antoinette series, details on a recently opened cheese-aging cellar in a Paris hotel, a guide to Toulouse, and an article about the history of La Madeleine. Enjoy!
