How many jars of Nutella do you think there are in France?  Many would be my answer-but how many who knows.  As I wrote earlier every crepe stand has jars of Nutella on standby to make delicious crepes.

Do your part and help celebrate World Nutella Day by eating some Nutella.

Pantruche Carnaval and the Saint-Fargeau


Are you ready to come out and walk from the 20th district to the City Hall in the 4th district, led by a cow limousine, trumpeters and many eclectic musians?  Started in 1274 this parade also known as Promenade de Bouef Grande (procession of the fatty cow) will be making lots of noise as it marches through the streets of Paris.  Where else can you do the walk of the fatty ...

Forbidden Fruit at the Louvre: Apple Store to open at the Louvre


Will the Mona Lisa be temped like Eve to take a bite of the forbidden fruit.  Steve Jobs must be estactic, he will be tempting Parisians alike, male and female to enjoy his Apple.  Le Louvre Carousel will be home to the first Apple store in Paris.

After many months of speculation and hoping for an address on Les Champs Elysee Apple will finally have a spot.

The Sales are on in Paris


Paris stores have sales twice a year.  For reasons unknown to me the sales are regulated by the government.

Their winter sales started on January 9th and will continue until February 16th.  While the euro may be strong against the US dollar this is your time to get out there and find some sales.

Is he or Isn't He


Hopefully Sarkovy is more candid and forthright about his political agenda than his lovelife.  Sarkovy made no secret that he would keep his nuptials secret.  Who knows if he is married.

Can you imagine being 50 plus, being president of France and having photographers stalk you as you do the walk of shame out of your girlfriend's apartment.

Congratulations is he is married.
