- Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

ReplyDeleteWhat French watercolor paper do you use? I love the soft handoff it!
ReplyDeleteNice post tho. Happy trails.
ReplyDeleteI am curious now too:) Quel papier?:) It must be great!!Liked following your stories during NYC days..that Iris..wowsers.
ReplyDeleteLovely that you refer to Paris as "home" now....
ReplyDeleteSo, where can I buy this French watercolor paper in New York?
ReplyDeleteYou can't Shirley, maybe not anywhere.
DeleteIts very light weight. Arches refuses to sell itor something. I can figure it out.
I left a big packet of large sheets with a friend 5 years ago.i managed to squeak by just under 10 kilos in my carry-on bag.
And nobody stopped me at baggage customs either...
WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH ALL THAT FRENCH WATERCOLOR PAPER MADAME?
No way
Arches stopped distribution in the US a while back.
C'est la vie
You have assimilated! A Parisian now. What kind of paper is so special that it merits an NYC visit in person?!
ReplyDeleteHome sweet home. Safe trip, Carol.
ReplyDelete(I wish I were brave enough and cool enough to be Iris Apfel.)
Merci dieu!
DeleteDon't we all wannabe her.
I once saw her on the street in NYC.

Safe travels and welcome home to Paris.
ReplyDeleteI love your post and each and every one of your NYC photos.
ReplyDeleteTotal kudos for Mrs. Apfel, and also for all the USA ladies that make us proud around the world!
I remember a full moon evening last January, my sister and I walking around the heart of Paris. Then, all of a sudden, I saw a Kate Spade store, right there on Rue Saint-Honoré. What a delight to see her beautiful store...and so full of customers!
Thank you so much, Ms. Carol!

It's too bad that there wasn't time to escape from the canyons to the tree-lined streets in Greenwich Village or to take a walk in the parks along the Hudson and East Rivers. I was able to completely avoid the canyons during my last two annual visits to NYC, and it was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTravelling between Paris and New York doesn't seem too bad! Plus you had important painting supplies to transport back home. Thanks for sharing New York with us as well as Paris!!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, you sound like a true ex-pat now! New York is no longer home. Paris is. How many years to feel that way? Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLove Your blog.
ReplyDeletea foot in two worlds!-GREAT PHOTOS!
ReplyDeleteLanaquarelle?
ReplyDeleteNext time do an Atlantic crossing on a ship and have a nice vay-cay! 5 days to relax, read and paint, see movies and live shows, and take your motion sickness pills. Then take the train to Paris, you can take a bigger bag and not have to cut your paper so small. Just sayin'
