Marche des Producteurs de Pays

This week France rather quietly announced that visitors from the U.S. and Canada were allowed to come to the country without any restrictions. Things are still moving in the direction of getting back to normal, and while last year is still sort of a haze to me, I believe the markets in Paris remained open the entire time, operating under different conditions. Outdoor markets are…

La Ferme de Viltain

It’s not a drag to be in Paris in August. In fact, those who stay in town always say the same thing – “This is the best time of year to be in Paris.” (Or, “Wouldn’t it be incroyableย if it was like this all year?”) Even though Paris is a lot smaller, imagineย if 85% of the people left New York City or San Francisco in…

La Tresorerie houseware store in paris

The word trรฉsorerie in French means โ€œtreasury.โ€ But in spite of its vaguely unpleasant connotation with the place that receives your taxes, it can also mean โ€œtreasure trove,โ€ such as in this case, to describe La Trรฉsorerie. One of the nice things about living in an international city like Paris, is that you can visit “another country” by just taking a mรฉtro, bike, or a…
