14yo wants to go back to the Louvre because there's stuff she mussed, such as, "I was looking at that statue of Medusa but right beside it was a statue of Athena!"
#LifeInParis means she can go by herself anytime she's free and she doesn't even have to pay.

We don’t always socialize over drinks on Friday nights in #Paris, but when we do, we always have fun! 🍷#expatlife #lifeinParis #anamericaninparis #lifeabroad #lifeinFrance

I haven't been in an English-speaking country in a while, and it shows.
Me in a English second-hand bookshop in the Latin Quarter just now: "You take card?" 🙈

There is (honestly) nothing that tops having a fab lunch in Paris while sharing suggestions with your table neighbours for other places to enjoy great food.

This city is just hands down charming on so many levels. It’s taken years, but I get it.

We're getting ready for a picnic in town. (We live in Paris.) Daughter chooses a big knife.
DH: "Not that one! You always take knives one can't walk around in town with!"

15yo is making plans for her friend's visit, asks about the Musée d'Orsay: "Do they have old paintings in there?"
DH starts answering that the Md'O covers a specific time period (1848-1914) but stops, reminding himself: "For 15yo anything from before 2000 is old."

A young woman just got on my métro with a pink suitcase, and there's a 50cm tall teddy bear riding on the suitcase. 🥰

15yo is preparing her CV for the compulsory internship coming up this spring. Under "interests" she listed "movies/shows".
I remarked I'd read on CV advice sites to avoid this.
DH simply added "in the original language" to give it value. 🙂

Just now as I'm on my evening walk, a car stops to ask for directions.
"To Paris?"
Me: "Go straight ahead, once you cross the tram line over there, you turn left. Then it's straight ahead all the way to Paris."

(All the way = 6km)

Happy New Year to all my Bluesky friends and followers!
I hope to post more about Paris and #LifeInParis this year than I did in 2024, but there'll also be #TimeTravel and #AmWriting posts.

Spotted this week in Paris. I wondered what was there first, the car or the markings?

When I go to an address in town I've never been to, whether a doctor or something else, I discover a neighbourhood I otherwise wouldn't have gone to. #LifeInParis
On #LettersFromParisAndOtherMissives I shsre a tip for help with orientation:

Street numbers follow the river
There's a system to street numbers in Paris - it's all about the river!

After a cold and grey week we got a sprinkle of snow and blue skies today.
I'm off into town to see if there's snow in Paris too. (I doubt it.)

So today it's far-too-early-o'clock, the "go" was given, and I'm off in the rain (go figure), hoping to glimpse some #Triathlon action.
#Paris2024 #LifeInParis #GamesEdition
Not getting off here at far-too-early-o'clock this morning: the triathlon has been postponed as the Seine hasn't met the required standards this morning. (I pity the people who have to collect the measurements at 4am.)
