Private detective Aimée Laduc's back in town and duking it out in the Latin
Quarter.

Hanging out with Aimée's creator Cara Black in Pigalle was a trip. She

described in great detail. Will this elevator in the Hotel Langoise we

[paris breakfasts] How to Paint Like Eugene Boudin

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:57:46 UT

A little painting-sketching leçon today so you can draw like Eugene Boudin
even if you can't make it over for the exhibit at Musée Jacquemart-André by
July 22.

The day I visited the Boudin exhibit the sun was shining brightly..

Today it's continuous Paris drizzle but never mind. This is perfect to get

Falling in love with a little custardie cake, le Canelé, can be quite
deleterious to your health.

I'd resisted the flirtatious wiles of the canelé for a long time, but at
the Perigord Foire the old coup de foudre/flash of lightening hit and it
hard.

Handmade by Lucette of Hautefort in Perigord using walnuts picked from her

Today as always, is Norwegian Independence Day.

It's also my birthday and a first while I'm LIVING in Paris.

Today's horoscopes were not too encouraging...

Today I went off to the 19th to visit the much revered boulangerie
Veronique Mauclerc, noted for her wood-burning oven and fabulous breads.

My nose was pressed so close to the window looking at all the goodies...

I didn't realize I was reading the titles out loud in wonderment...

[paris breakfasts] Searching for Sugar Man

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:02:34 UT

Many Thanks to Meeting The French and Ohlala Maman I went to see the film,
Seaching For Sugar Man yesterday

This is such a dont-miss I can't tell you - the story, the back story, the
MUSIC, the Man (Rodriguez). A heartbreaker yet it put me on such a high, I
floated out of the theater...

[paris breakfasts] N 5 Culture Chanel

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Tue, 14 May 2013 11:36:01 UT

The N5 Culture Chanel exhibit is only on till 5 June at Palais de Tokyo

The exhibit focuses on the evolution of Chanel N5.

Plexiglas display cases/vitrines reflect perfectly the square austerity of
the bottle's shape. An explanatory booklet is given out along with a free
audio tape (only if you have your carte d'identite with you). I did not, so

[paris breakfasts] UGC illimité

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Mon, 13 May 2013 17:46:12 UT

I've been in Paris for FOUR months and NO movies!

This is a disaster

Especially in a town...

A wash in movie theaters. That grey sky looks threatening to open up at any
moment and gives us all a good soak doesn't it? Movies are such a great
from the rain or a chance for a quick snooze after too much...

Quite a few of you begin your emails with,

"I know you must be a fanatic Francophile like myself bla bla bla.."

Honestly I came to Paris because of the enchanting kitchen gadgets. It was
love ar first sight with the Chef's Palm Zester (which just happens to be
American born and bred).

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:48:50 UT

I've been working on my fraises/strawberries all week = an ongoing WIP/work
in progress

The French Gariguettes in the marché go for about 5€ a 500 gr box (or 1
pound) and these babies are BIG and SWEET!

Honestly some are almost the size of a small pomme/apple. Eat two and
you're full. No need to store them in the fridge either. They'll last for a

[paris breakfasts] Do Fr Girls Have Longer Legs?

no-re...@blogger.com (Blogger) — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:30:39 UT

I have to admit that French girls DO have longer, straighter legs. It's a
hard fact of life one just has to accept living here...

These are not models imported from wherever like you see all over NYC.
These are born and bred Frenchies. I've even noticed moms with daughters,
both very long-legged.

Yesterday I went to CDG to pick up author Vivian Swift and escort her into
town to her quite fabulous tiny hotel de Nestlé in the 6th arrondissement.
Vivian had generously taken me to JFK when I departed NYC with my mountains
of junk, so it was the least I could do...

This is Vivian of the wonderful le Road Trip and When Wanderers Cease To

[paris breakfasts] Cara and Murder in the Sentier

Back prowling Paris' dark streets with Cara Black again, this time in the
Sentier looking for murder and mayhem as always

Cara wants to show me a particular secret passage so off we go...

Down what seems to me the loneliest and darkest of streets...

Ooopla the passage is locked tight.

Staying with the theme of love, romance and Spring don't miss with a visit
to the Jacques Demy exposition at the musee de la Cinémathèque Française.
Who hasn't seen The Umbrellas of Cherbourg at one point or another? If you
haven't you can catch it at the cinemathèque with your entry ticket to the
