I had an absolutely packed but great week. It’s so hard to believe that it will be November on Tuesday (especially when it’s been 75 degrees in Paris all week). A lot of fun projects I’ve been working on this fall will be announced on Monday to newsletter subscribers first – so make sure you’re on the list! Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 44 include a tour of a restored French château, an article on Madame du Barry, Champagne “rules” to follow, and a look at renovation of a hotel purchased on leboncoin (the French version of Craigslist). Enjoy!
