Some days just seem to be ‘girlie’ kind of days. I dare a guy to venture into A Priori The 35-37 Galerie Vivienne 2eme around Friday lunch hour. You will most definitely be outnumbered by females big time. The estrogen aura may knock you out of your seat, but if you’re brave [...]

It’s 10:30 pm Friday. Here’s the results of the search for a Paris ‘fashion challenge’ and ‘pas de tout cher’. We found these ballerina slipper/shoes at “INCONTOURNABLE” at 65 Rue Vaugirard (right on the corner of Rue de Rennes).

Jean-Loup Chiflet wrote a very amusing essay about dining with friends in Paris which appeared in Saturday/Sunday’s Madame Figaro for Oct. 28/29. Entitled “Help.

I’m still not sure how we got two tickets for the sold-out Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte performance just three days before the performance. Perseverance? So, with our 39 Euro tickets in our hot little hands, we hopped on the No 95 cross-town bus (Montparnasse to Opera).
