Partager la Fête Saint Valentine's!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I can recall sitting in school when I was only 8 years old, waiting to give out my valentines.  It was a class rule that you had to give everyone in the class a valentine, not just the ones that were special to you.  That way nobody was left out ... 


So, don't leave anyone out today!  Every corner has flowers, lovely flowers, for sale.  But there are a few rules to consider when you are buying for your special someone:


In most European countries, it is tradition to give an odd number of flowers or it is considered bad luck.  Take a look at the photo above ...

Bon Fête!

Partager The Last Days of Paris SOLDES!

Rue Saint Honoré

Still haven't found that perfect pair of shoes yet?  The Paris SOLDES are nearly over, so now is the time to get serious.  With most stores displaying 50% off, you will be able to afford two pairs!   I have never seen so many shoes crying out for a home!

Don't wait too long, the sales will be over the 15th. 

But, just in case you missed them this time, don't fret, Paris has SOLDES (sales) two times per year. The summer sales will begin the end of June (check here for exact dates and maybe a good airfare) and last for 6 weeks.  I do encourage you to arrange your trip to arrive the first week or so of the SOLDES if you want the best choice of merchandise and sizes.  If it is best prices you are after, wait until the last couple of weeks of the sales.  You will find the reductions are many times up to 70 %.
You can make organize your own tour by checking out the Itineraries for shopping, or if you would prefer to take full advantage of your time, there are many tours, large, small, luxury, or just girlfriends together, that will make your shopping trip a profitable affair. 
If you have any questions, please drop me a line. 
See  you for the SOLDES D'ÉTÉ!

Manhattan ... in Paris

Every now and then, a girl deserves a night out ....
so if you find yourself feeling a bit like that, try a night out with a friend, pick a special place and have yourself a delicious cocktail!

If you are near the Opéra Garnier in Paris, take a few steps around the corner onto rue Scribe,  duck into the warm and welcoming, includes fireplace and very attentive servers,
Café Lumiére at the Hotel Scribe !

You are worth it!
