Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort
leads us through The four Star Lunch in 30 Minutes;
An Almost-Night in the Paris,
A Story of French Flattery,
Secrets to the Grave - No More, and
Quiche, Anyone?
The Palais Royal -
Thirza Vallois
tells us about the Palais Royal - a place now almost
off the beaten path, yet right in the center of Paris - a
stones throw from the Louvre. If you've visited Paris,
almost undoubtedly you've passed within 10 metres of the place,
but probably didn't know it. Take a moment and visit it now.
(This piece is excerpted from Thirza Vallois' book Around and About Paris.)
Room With A View -
Françoise Giovannangeli
Funny things can happen in Paris - politics and scandals asside, simple daily
life in the City sometimes writes a script more bizare than we could
have dreamed up on our own.
Showrooms on the Champs-Elysées -
Richard Erickson
When you walk down this famous avenue, you'll notice many things,
including perhaps the car showrooms. If you make cars, and you
want to sell them in France, then you must have a show room on
the Champs. And sometimes - to seperate yourself from the rest,
you need to integrate a restaurant with it as well.
Take a stroll with Ric on a raining day in Paris.
Michael O'Shea's Paris Journal - Part III -
Michael O'Shea
The last excerpt from Michael's journal, continues on the
Right Bank, in the Marais District. If you know Paris even
just a little, you can follow Michael and Vicky on their
walk through the City, eventually ending up at Gare du Nord
and the train back to London. Walk along with them.
The Second Arrondissement -
Thirza Vallois
continues her exploration of the
arrondissements of Paris, this time the 2nd arrondissement. Its
not as glamorous as some, but its past is a rich one, and
very much a part of the city's heart.
Les Halles -
Read from a memory of Paris nearly 50 years old. Originally published in the
book France, Paris, and the Provinces (McGraw-Hill, 1948, New York.), it evokes a bit of that
atmosphere for which Paris is so well known. These days it is sometimes a bit harder to find it, but rest
assured it still exists.
