Parc Bagatelle: Minutes and Worlds Away from Paris


Imagine yourself in a wide-open grassy field- you are surrounded by palm fronds, a pond, and the calls of peacocks off in the distance. Now imagine yourself in close proximity to a Parisian metro station that will take you to the center of the city in twenty minutes. It may seem a jarring difference of location but you can actually have the best of both worlds in the Bois de ...

Berthillion Ice Cream


Summer time has arrived and it is time to enjoy some ice cream. When I think of Paris, ice cream is not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact I would never consider Paris to be an ice cream haven-gelato in Italy yes, delicious pastries in Paris.

YSL Dead at 71


The fashion world mourns the death of fashion icon Yves St. Laurent. At 71 years, YSL contributed more to fashion than any other designer. His designs had graced the runways around the world for decades. His greatest contribution to fashion was pants for women-allowing woman to enjoy the comfort of pants while still being a woman.

One of my favoritie pastry shops is Gerald Mulot. The ...

What are the French thinking?


I am not quite sure if I understand the French.  Just a few weeks ago, Parisians were making international headlines, with their demonstrations of the Olympic torch being run through the streets of Paris. Now that the world is no longer watching and the torch is who knows where in the world, Gallerie Layfayette, has set up an Asian display in it's front window as a countdown to the Oympics ...
