The only issue I have with a Provençal market is t

The only issue I have with a Provençal market is that I want one of everything!

The produce is so delicious and the roasted chickens are sublime… I’ve certainly had my share of fruit and vegetables this week. The photos don’t even begin to do justice.

And, I learned something new — there is such a thing as an “Abricot Bergeron.” It comes from Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or in the Rhône department (near Lyon), not too far away.

I guess I needed to be here during apricot season to come across it. .Of course, I had to try it! Absolutely délicieux!

I was thrilled to discover that the famous floatin

I was thrilled to discover that the famous floating market would be taking place the very day of my arrival in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

This annual event was created in the 1960s by René Légier after he was inspired by the floating markets of Bangkok. Local vendors in traditional dress glide past onlookers and crowds of customers in flat-bottomed “Nègo Chin” boats, offering fresh fruit, flowers, cheese, and more.

It was so charming, so fun, and so Provençal.

I arrived in the charming little town of Saint Rém

I arrived in the charming little town of Saint Rémy de Provence in the late afternoon. I think everyone must have been indoors to beat the heat. It was so quiet, and I was thrilled to have otherwise bustling streets and shops to myself.

I landed safely in Paris today and headed straight

I landed safely in Paris today and headed straight to the 16th. I’m spending a couple of days with friends. We settled into a late lingering lunch at Stella—a longtime favorite spot. Everything from the food, the service, the setting,— and of couse the company— was perfect, as always. So good to be back.

August always seems to arrive before I’m ready.

August always seems to arrive before I’m ready.

By the time it does, I find myself wondering where summer went—and realizing I haven’t fully embraced the season. So this year, I’m doing something different.

Inspired by the French tradition of les grandes vacances, I’m stepping away from my blog through the end of August to slow down, savor the season, and enjoy the simple pleasures of summer.

But don’t worry—I’m not disappearing! I’ll still be here on Instagram, sharing glimpses of my summer days along the way.

From long lunches and farmers’ markets to time in my garden, exploring Chicago, and perhaps even a little travel, I’m looking forward to making the most of these precious weeks.

Head to today’s blog post (link in bio) to learn more about my summer sabbatical and what inspired me to take this time to slow down.

This week's Paris Postcard is filled with my favor

This week's Paris Postcard is filled with my favorite ways to keep cool—from a Seine river cruise and Paris's new swimming spots to a leisurely afternoon at Le Flore en l'Île with a scoop of Berthillon. Plus, don't miss two exceptional exhibitions before they close.

Read today's Paris Postcard at the link in my bio.

One of the things I look forward to doing during m

One of the things I look forward to doing during my next trip to France is visiting a few brocantes or flee markets.

This has become such a fun new hobby for me. I’ve always paused at sales I’ve stumbled upon, but lately I’ve been actively seeking them out. There’s something so inspiring about wandering through markets filled with hidden treasures.

I don’t buy a ton — it’s more about the creative thrill of spotting something and imagining its new life. That quirky vintage print that would look perfect in a kitchen? The architectural fragment that could make the most beautiful bookend? I love that part most of all.

I can’t wait to explore the brocantes of Paris and see what stories (and future treasures) I find. Who else is obsessed with giving old things a second chapter?
