As soon as I arrive in this fabulous and fashionable city I feel completely enveloped by all that Paris has to offer the senses.
The SIGHTS - No other city on the planet pays as much attention to detail! The highly polished doorknobs on the formidable ancient doors that conceal mysterious interiors. 
The 
tiny exquisite umbrella shop's window that beckons you inside. The carved cherubs that urge you to cross the Pont Alexander to explore further. These are all part of the countless visual inspirations that are part of my daily life here. The SMELLS - Summer time in Paris! There's a reason why people have eternally sung its 
praises. Nothing could be better than reclining around the Jardin des Tuileries and inhaling all the fragrances of Mother Nature's rebirth. And stopping by a flower shop - whether tucked in an alley or on the Rive Gauche - their lovingly arranged blooms are simply intoxicating.

Where else could a baguette tucked under your arm be considered a fashion statement? A warm, crusty loaf of bread, a wonderful pungent cheese and a bottle of champagne all from purveyors in my neighborhood create a simple feast like no other. The modern gallery-like atmosphere of a beautiful Patisserie on Rue de Bac that elevates cakes and pastries to a whole new level. The tradition of the macaroons at Laduree are worth the long wait on a Saturday afternoon. And the Parisian's idea of "take out" means a freshly made crepe filled with chocolate!
The SOUNDS - One of my favorite sounds in my Paris neighborhood is the sound of quiet. When
my husband Rick and I step out of our apartment on a Saturday morning to head over to the Bio Marche I'm struck by how peaceful and sleepy the city seems. Paris is just beginning to wake up....the streets are being washed clean, lovers head to a boulangerie to pick up a cafe au lait and croissants, and fashionable young ladies on Vespas have the roads to themselves before the steady noon-day flow of traffic begins. What a glorious way for me to begin my day!
Please join me again soon and let me share more of my Paris with all of you!
Be it a Michelin Star restaurant or an out of the way bistro, nothing can surpass to food in Paris.
