LIFE IN PARIS: Join me on PEPO for more Paris Travel Stories

February 28, 2017

This weekend I'll be doing a two-day (virtual) walking tour around Paris with the guys over at Pepo. A cool travel app that allows you to chat with people passionate about food and travel from all over the world. I'm doing lots of short videos there; so you'll get to see Paris from a local up to date point of view. I've been using it for a month now and love it. It's still in the beginning stages - but you can really get a sense of the places from the people you follow, and chat in real-time.[...]

Life in Paris: Postcards from Paris

February 8, 2017

In retrospect last year in Paris was one of my worst and best years. I was hoping to find another way to sum things up - but I'm sure most of you will agree by saying it was a crappy year all over the world. So many life changes in a short period of time, where I mostly felt that this all couldn't just be happening to me. And the more I opened up - I was indeed right! We were and are all going through somethings. No man is immune from the challenges of life. One day I opened my mail box to re[...]

Travel from Paris: Disneyland in the winter time!

November 9, 2016

We're off to Disneyland Paris! It's been on our to-do list for a while as a family and this Toussaint vacation ( a time where the kids take 2 weeks off school in October) - we did it! You'd think that a place that gets so many visitors from all over the world, being so close to home would have seen us by now, but nope. We took our sweet little time and we did it with the tour company ParisCityVision because they had these tickets that allowed for a taxi pickup then a ride in their bus with ac[...]

No to McDonalds on Rue Montorgueil – the fight continues.

January 28, 2016

This morning at the door of Pierre's school was a dad giving our these flyers (photo below). Prompting parents to get involved in the fight against?McDonald's close to the school and in our neighborhood. I'll loosely translate most of it here: The war is not finished against McDonald's! Refused?twice ?for the last 6 years by the city hall of Paris from placing a fast food restaurant on the historic Rue Montorgueil, they are now again forcing the city hall into court to accept the pe[...]

Travel from Paris: Grasse and Fragonard Tour

January 7, 2016

Traveling from Paris to the perfume town of Grasse you'll most likely want to fly to Nice or take the train. One day should be enough to discover the small charming south of France town as well as do a tour (free guided at Fragonard) and enjoy some local food. Grasse is the perfume capital located in the historically rich French Riveria. It takes 1 1/2 hours to fly (100 Euros round trip) into Nice from Paris and 5 1/2 hours via train (170 Euros round trip) A summer story. Over[...]
