Paris entertainment at your fingertips

14 October 2011

It’s nothing new that Paris has a plethora of artistic and cultural establishments. Keeping up with the gallery openings (or vernissages), museum expositions, the latest at the opera houses, theaters and even the cinema is a full time job in and of itself! Take into account the entrance fees and cost of tickets, your entertainment [...]

When you first arrive in Paris…

24 August 2011

So you’ve just moved to Paris. You’re tired from jet lag, disoriented, grumpy and quite frankly a bit overwhelmed. So now what? While there is no direct answer and each person will have different scenarios that come hand-in-hand with their move, here are a few suggestions on where to start. Settle into your apartment.

8 Tips to Surviving your Visa Appointment at the French Embassy

12 July 2011

There is no way around it, applying for a visa to France is not easy nor fun. The list of requirements never ending, the paperwork laborious and exact, the anxiety nauseating, and the employees sometimes unfriendly and condescending. With yesterday being my fourth visa application and third visit, I thought I would put the experiences [...]

Le Grand Voyage: Paris

9 May 2011

Two weeks in Paris and I’m exhausted. While far from the relaxing, market-parousing, museum lounging, and leisurely wandering I’d hoped to have for Le Grand Voyage, I can’t really complain seeing that the weight of what I’ll be doing with my life in the short term has been joyously determined. Even still, I did manage [...]

There are so many great restaurants, boutiques and sites regularly shared by a number of great Paris bloggers and I can’t wait [...]

What do Menton and Clogged Pipes have in common?

30 March 2011

I felt like an unwelcome intruder peering through the bars of the large green gate keeping me from the Fontana Rosa in Menton. I’d just walked the entire length of the Promenade du Soleil, accidentally found myself in Garavan, and now stood locked outside the garden during its open hours though it was clearly closed. [...]

Christmas Gifts from Prague

24 December 2010

I’m a “culturalist” and even though that word technically doesn’t exist, it defines me completely with my recent trip to Prague perfectly illustrating my point. Not only was I fascinated with the architecture (which was so gorgeous and picturesque, by the way, that I eventually got tired of taking pictures – and that’s never happened [...]

Prancing in Prague

18 December 2010

I once said that I would have a hard time deciding which I loved more: Florence or Vienna. But now Prague is competing for the top spot on my favorite European cities aside from Paris (which will naturally be queen of all because that’s just how loyal I am). Prague in the snow. Are we [...]
