Aller-retour

Our week in Provence was bookended by a stop in the Auvergne-Aubrac on the way there, and Burgundy on the return trip, two beloved regions.

A book in Montmartre

 

 

Denis Leary's bestseller "Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid," as brilliant today as ever.

 

Peachy

Last week's heatwave inspired a wave of light refreshing homemade drinks.

This week look for more photos from our week in Provence (w/on-the-way stopoffs in Burgundy and Auvergne)... and from Le Cordon Bleu's non-stop apéro dînatoire extravaganza.

Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are. Soon...! - BPJ
