What a fascinating post. I enjoyed learning about the 'big' stuff and also the 'little' stuff, like 'paraphe'.
Adventures in French Real Estate
Yesterday was a red-letter day Chez Nous, in that we acquired a second "chez" -- we closed on the purchase of a delightful little 1-bedroom apartment in the heart of Montmartre. As Georges pointed out to me aftward, this marks the beginning of my entrée into the French real estate market. I've l...

I love the "en vigueur"!

No, I had an appointment and couldn't wait. Plus, I was afraid he wouldn't offer the dog a treat and I didn't want to be disappointed for the dog.
A patient dog
This sweet dog was waiting in the rain, tied to une bite (or bitte, I've seen different spellings) de trottoir. next to une rôtisserie of aromatic roasted chickens and ducks: in front of une boucherie waiting for his owner. How's that for patience and good behavior in the face of temptatio...
I miss you too, Donna. The news here is full of Socialist Party primary results and heard a newscaster wish a soon-to-be-demonstrating union person, 'Bonne manifestation!'.

After I regained consciousness post-jetlag (or so I thought), I decided to attend a Travel Writers Panel at the American Library in Paris, part of their series called "Evening with an Author". The American Library is close to the Eiffel Tower, so I thought I would take the metro to the Troca...
How interesting! Quick everyone: go read Adam's blog, it's wonderful.
Horsing around
Since I'm still on the injured/disabled list, I'll have to share more first day photos and subsequent research. I walked by this creperie: and then doubled back... what was down that alleyway? Is that a horse's head on the building? Yes indeed-y! But this doesn't look like the usual...
Im reading it right now! And eagerly awaiting reading the new book about Coco Chanel during the Second World War.
The Steins Collect
It's the season for summer blockbuster museum shows and The Steins Collect at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francsico (until September 6, 2011) doesn't disappoint. It's huge and satisfying and not to be missed. Do you love the history of modern art? The history of the Lost Generation and Par...

After a post about French school supplies, I discovered the graphed paper, index cards, etc is called 'quadrillé'. I adore quadrillé paper products and always come home with a boatload of it.

Shopped 'til we dropped
Preparing one small boy for the first day of school has been an experience -- a good one -- but I am still reeling from how much stuff is required for just this ONE child. Between him outgrowing certain things and needing to restock nearly all his school supplies, the list seems to go on and o...
