Waking up to this view is good for the soul. I just love Paris - the people, the architecture, the cafes, the markets, etc. I could go on and on but can’t put my finger on just one thing that stands out.

What do you love about Paris?

Do you know this left bank home and kitchen shop?

Do you know this left bank home and kitchen shop? It’s called La Trésorerie and it’s a favorite of mine.

La Trésorerie means “treasury” or “treasure trove.” The original store (in the 10th arrondissement) is housed in a former tax office building—hence the name—which perfectly captures the spirit of the shop. Very clever and very fitting!

They have everything from stylish and beautiful tableware and bakeware to more practical items such as bottle brushes and can openers and linens. I still regret not picking up a few of those adorable kitchen towels—I shall return!

Next time you’re on the Left Bank, pop in—you won’t leave empty-handed!

Happy Sunday and Father’s Day! Today I’m sharing

Happy Sunday and Father’s Day!

Today I’m sharing a few pics of Église Saint-Sulpice, one of Paris’s most beautiful Baroque masterpieces and the city’s second-largest church—construction began in 1646 and took over a century.

As you enter this historic gem, be sure to scan the QR code at the door. It will take you to a wonderful website describing and giving historical context to Eugène Delacroix’s dramatic murals in the Chapel of the Holy Angels, the magnificent Cavaillé-Coll organ, and the famous gnomon — a clever astronomical device used to mark solstices—and so much more.

Whether you’re an architecture lover, art enthusiast, or just chasing that perfect Paris moment, Saint-Sulpice delivers pure awe.

Who else has visited this beauty?

I couldn’t resist pulling out my dear friend Cecil

I couldn’t resist pulling out my dear friend Cecile’s cherished recipe to make this classic and oh so simple French dessert for tomorrow’s Father’s Day celebration.

Of course I had to “quality check” a little slice while it was still warm. It did not disappoint — creamy, slightly sweet, with that perfect hint of vanilla. Cecile’s version has an interesting regional twist and is go-to recipe.

Comment “CLAFOUTIS” below, and I”ll send you this very special recipe.

Do you know Au Petit Fer à Cheval?

Tucked in the Marais, this historic spot is more than 100 years old. The name means “The Little Horseshoe” — thanks to its iconic horseshoe-shaped zinc bar. Cozy, authentic, and full of character, it’s the ideal place for classic French bistro fare like duck confit, steak tartare, or the daily plat du jour, paired with a glass of natural wine or a kir. Go for the timeless atmosphere and genuine Parisian experience. The locals love it!

These are exactly the kinds of hidden gems I feature in my Paris guide — link in bio to learn more.

Most people visit Versailles as a quick day trip from Paris, but I always encourage my friends and family to do the opposite: spend a night or two there instead.

Trust me, it makes all the difference. You get to actually enjoy the Château without rushing through the stunning grounds, the Grand Trianon, or the charming Hameau de la Reine (Marie Antoinette’s adorable hamlet).

The town itself is lovely too — peaceful evenings, a well stocked farmer’s market, great little restaurants, and that magical feeling of having Versailles almost to yourself once the day-trippers leave.

Don’t underestimate how much there is to see and do in Versailles. Give it the time it deserves. You won’t regret slowing down and soaking it all in.

A couple of times, I have gone straight from the airport to my hotel in Versailles. It’s a wonderfully relaxing way to recover from flight fatigue and ease into my vacation.

Who else is adding an overnight (or two) in Versailles to their itinerary? Drop a comment below!

Sunday supper done right. A gorgeous bouquet fro

Sunday supper done right.

A gorgeous bouquet from my thoughtful sister-in-law sets the perfect spring table, alongside my beloved Sarreguemines “Favori” Terre de Fer plates. I found these beauties earlier this year at the @foiredechatou while antiquing with my sweet friend Katherine @rue.dauphine.paris — still so happy with that find! The stemware is also a wonderful find from a day of thrifting with my dear friend May @noisettes1420 - who has a great eye! Finally, the brass candlesticks were a gift from my lovely mother, who no longer had a use for them. I just love building a tablescape full of memories and repurposed treasures. It’s a great way to close out the weekend.

Grateful for these simple joys. 🙏🏼
