I knew time would fly by, and it did. This is my last weekend in Paris of 2021 before heading home for the holidays. It’s going to be a festive one filled with holiday tours, early Christmas celebrations, and of course last-minute shopping. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 50 include an article on the lunch that changed Julia Child’s life, a guide to Paris in the winter, an easy French cooking technique that really is a game changer, and a list of 10 stylish hotels in Paris. Enjoy!
