- 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…

That's a huge big deal, Carol, and Bravo to YOU! I have saved all mine and now need to renew one of these days. Maps next time, I think, just to be different! I miss your packets but not for much longer!
ReplyDeleteEverything about this post makes me smile but what makes me smile most is knowing that you are out there, living the dream, making your art and making a living! It's all very good indeed. Congratulations!
Thanks Jeanie !!❤️🐻
DeleteFélicitations Dear Carol & Bear on your Île St-Louis 5th year Anniversary! This definitely calls for a glass of champagne at an island bistro or a Berthillon ice cream cone (do they have a champagne flavor?!).
ReplyDeleteNo Champagne ice cream! Why is that?
DeleteWe will order some..
And give a street party in rue l'Île Saint-Louis
Joyeux Anniversaire! I can’t imagine a lovelier place in Paris to live. I think I’ve been reading Paris Breakfasts at least that long.
ReplyDeleteBonne Chance in the next 5 years!
Happy PB Letter Anniversary - hard to believe it's been 5 years, time certainly does fly. Receiving my map every month is a definite bright spot and I love the days I see PB pop up in my email - always the first thing I read. Hugs to Bear, love the way he's guarding your desk.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Carol!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you followed your heart!! I for one have been blessed by your art and charming emails!
Congratulations on superb accomplishments and Happy Valentine's to you!!
Congratulations! I think your letters are a grand idea. I much enjoy the ones I have! I've had the privilage of staying on the Île Saint-Louis several times, both in hotels and a wonderful apartment once. I admire your courage in taking yourself to Paris all those years ago. My husband and I once dreamed of doing just that, but we didn't. We instead got an apartment in NYC for a few years to experience large urban life. Fond memories!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and Bear for the years ahead.
Funny and I 'gave up' NYC for Paris ;))
DeleteNo regrets ever !!
Love your art!
