Post by contributor Jenny Bailey With so many tourists visiting Paris every year looking for great deals, it’s hard to imagine that there are still some places that are relatively unheard of. Away from some of the more popular attractions, there are however various monuments that are equally as impressive. One of these is the…
Étiquette : Prete Moi Paris
Caron, perfume and powder for a century

My ultimate dream apartment in Paris
The last time I visited a luxury apartment with Lodgis, I told Laetitia about this apartment I had seen on their srite about 4 years ago, and how it had become the apartment to which I compared all others (luxury dream apartments). And I was sad when I saw it disappear from the site (and…
Paris Wedding Wednesday : DIY napkins

Friday en français : …non pas la fin, mais…
Ce segment qui a lieu tous les vendredis depuis un certain temps, que j’appelle « Friday en français » ne sera pas terminé…mais ne sera pas soutenu non plus. La vie, elle s’entasse des choses à faire, des obligations, des rendez-vous, et tout et tout… Et je me trouve ayant du mal à m’inspirer toutes les semaines…
Paris Wedding Wednesday : Join the Circus!!
It absolutely tickles me to compare a wedding to a circus…because, I mean really, who are we kidding! A wedding is a beautiful event, of course, but preparing it, and trying to appease everyone’s desires and calm the emotions of the drama queens, well… I am sure wedding planner Kim Petyt knows something of THAT!…
