Pieces of Paris…
Written in collaboration with Mary Davis Heres to hoping we will all get to travel again this Spring… Living in Paris is one of the most beautiful things ever and it is great to explore your neighborhood, especially with so much to see and do in the city. However, it is good to get out…
Mid-march lived up to its Shakespearian omen this year, in France. The ides of March brought about a serious awareness of the dangers carried by the Covid-19 virus that has hit humanity on a global scale.
