Frenchie Friday - Sept 6, 2024

It's la rentrée in France! A special time of year that marks the return to school and work after the summer holidays. It's a bustling period filled with excitement and anticipation. As the city awakens from its summer slumber, the streets are filled with the sounds of people returning to their daily routines. Students, teachers, and professionals alike prepare for a new year, filled with opportunities and challenges. It's a time of fresh starts, new beginnings, and renewed energy for the entire nation.

This week, Paris finds itself in the spotlight with the ongoing debate over the Olympic rings gracing the Eiffel Tower year-round. At the same time, Paris prepares for the closing of the Paraplegic Olympics games, a significant chapter in the city’s sporting legacy.

And now, it will be an excellent time to visit!

Cashmere 2.0

As if Quince's cashmere could be improved...but it has! They spent 2 years re-engineering their iconic cashmere for a thicker feel (there is 20% more cashmere now), better fit, and enhanced durability. Plus new colors!


Pour Le Weekend...

The cooler weather is back, I even wore 2 [Quince] cashmere sweaters this week! It is supposed to stay cool next week as well. We are prepping for a road trip to the Southwest.

How about you?

Bon Weekend!

If Paris is your jam, I am here for you with all the deets. But I also do a lot of outdoor adventures looking for places that are off the beaten path in the U.S. as well.

Frenchie Friday - Sept 20, 2024 Bonjour from Phoenix! No email last Friday as I was in the middle of my 4-day journey from Raleigh to Phoenix - basically I-40 for 2000 miles. It is hot, hot, hot and I want autumn, s'il vous plaît !

Heard back from Damien, the extraordinary Normandy tour guide that reader, Sandra, had an...

Frenchie Friday - Aug 30, 2024 After a 2 week break, the ParaOlympics have started in Paris so we all get to enjoy more scenes, articles, and news from Paris! I chatted with the folks from Hôtel Balzac Paris this week. They re-opened at the end of June in the 8th arrondissement and I am going to pay them a visit on my next trip. Are you influenced by Instagram? I totally am! This week I bought 2 of these beautiful Doppia Accent Rechargeable Table Lamps for outdoor dining because they looked...

Frenchie Friday on Saturday - Aug 24, 2024 Ouch! My company had a Recharge Day yesterday and I forgot to hit the send button on this email as I was too busy relaxing on my day off! Désolée!
