After a week in Paris, and with the CE threatening to purchase a beret, it was time to go. One last lovely dinner at Le Grand ColbertĀ (thanks to Marie-Christine for the recommendation!) which, we discovered, was featured in the film … Continue reading

The Louvre and a special lunch.
Wednesday morning we walked over to the Louvre. A few favorite sightings: There was so much more, but enough about art – we were in Paris, for heaven’s sake, so let’s move on to food! I had arranged a lunch … Continue reading
