- 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…

ReplyDeleteI do very much miss Paris, especially knowing that it’s going to be a long time before I can go there again. I’ll never forget my first trip there in 1967—I’ve been in love with Paris ever since! Thank you for your blog….I look forward to seeing it every week!

I received my first mailing of your Paris letters and maps on Friday and I felt like a little girl, thrilled with each and every detail! Your art work gives me a feeling that I can’t describ
ReplyDeleteI loved reading in your blog today how Mother’s Day is being celebrated and how you’re being inspired for your next map by Marie Antoinette!

Looked like a beautiful day in Paris...and people are social distancing along the Seine! It is so nice to tag along on your shopping excursions. The Marie letter is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the flowers, pastries, and perfume for Fetes des Mères.
ReplyDeletethanks for the photo of Notre Dame rising again, Carol! I think you are very lucky to be living there, in Paris, away from the ugliness here. Will this country ever recover from this two prong nightmare?
