Sit-down Saturday

A good read on a quiet afternoon.

 

Floral Friday

Table Tuesday

 

 

Today's table is at fashionista mecca Loulou, where glimpses of the Eiffel Tower with views over the Tuileries Gardens enhanced a perfect long lunch.

Musique en fête

Don't forget that this evening, and once again, Paris -  and all of France - is immersed in the vibrant celebration of La Fête de la Musique. Wander through any neighborhood and experience an array of musical styles as diverse as the offerings in a bustling boulangerie. Bonne Fête! - BPJ
