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

Champagne on the side

Two tables for two

Flowers have been set out on a second table to insure social distancing.

Meditation

No matter what time I take my daily walk I know I will see this man, somewhere on the butte, meditating.

Muy refrescante

On a tiny street down a (relatively) tiny flight of stairs in Montmartre, just over a block away from chez nous, a tiny gem is serving up icy cold drinks and authentic house-made arepas, Venezuela's signature corn-based flatbreads that are also the name of these sandwiches.
