December 6, 2021 at 4:55 AM It’s holiday gift time, and what could be better than the gift of Paris. Many of you were denied the joy of visiting Paris for part of this year with the travel restrictions, so what better way to remind you or people on your gift list of the city than a great photo.
I am offering free shipping in the U.S., a $14 value, on all photo prints.
I have updated my Etsy shop with 15 new photos in addition to my other classic photos from before.

December 1, 2021 at 10:52 AM At the end of October, I made a special five-day trip to Switzerland. The first two and half days I spent in Zurich, which was sponsored by the Zurich Tourism Office.
I had visited Zurich once before about 10 years ago just for an afternoon and honestly, I wasn’t very impressed. The city was nice enough and very clean, but it seemed dull except for the beauty of the lake. After my trip last month, I was beyond impressed and now Zurich has made it into my favorite list of European cities. ...

November 24, 2021 at 4:53 AM Here is my annual Thanksgiving blog, which I've published before. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and for the last seven years I have published this French Thanksgiving vocabulary list, courtesy of my former New York French teacher, Luc Georges.
Since Thanksgiving is not an official holiday in France, many ex-pats postpone their Thanksgiving dinner for Friday or Saturday, but some are traditionalists and make it on Thursday. I will be going to a friend's house Saturd...

November 14, 2021 at 4:55 AM There’s been a lot of buzz about the restaurant, Restaurant La Halle aux Grains inside the new Bourse de la Commerce Museum in the press and from friends and tour clients, who have gone and raved about it.
I took some tour clients last week to Bourse de la Commerce Museum and they wanted me to select a restaurant to have lunch after, and I thought it would be a perfect place, since they were foodies and had gone to many of the top restaurants during their stay in Paris.

I left about 9:45 pm to return home. It was a lovely, balmy night and instead of taking the metro home, I decided it was too lovely outside to go underground.

October 21, 2021 at 10:53 AM It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s super Calder! Actually, it’s a gigantic red dragon, standing in the Place Vendome. The striking sheet metal sculpture, The Flying Dragon from 1975, was one of Calder’s last major pieces before he died in 1976. It was fun to capture it at on all sides with its sharp angles and intense red, which were an interesting contrast to the symmetry and monochromatic color tone of Place Vendome.
