- 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…

I also like Ibis hotel chain when in France. Love your blog & French adventures. You are a Hero!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Inis is all over Europe. I think its basically a businessman’s hotel. You can join Accore and get a discount.
Deletethis is a great post----lovely art, lovely everything
ReplyDeleteLooks as if you are having a super time. I always like the French style of serving breakfasts in hotels. The long handles jam spoon is a good idea! The hotel showers are something else, I usually get most of the water on the floor. Keep on enjoying!🗼❤️🎨
ReplyDeleteA very complete breakfast, though I saw some just getting coffee and toast.
DeleteMy takeaway from French showers…those detachable shower heads! We installed one at home. They are marvelous!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the hotel life…comfy bed, lots of tv channels, breakfast ready when you are. Enjoy.
I really envy people who can keep those wonderful illustrated travel journals. Love your madeleine. You’re so talented. 👏🏻
ReplyDeleteLovely Photos--looks like a wonderful place to be. What kind of sketchbook do you use, Carol? Or lots of different ones?
ReplyDeleteMy sort of place to stay!
ReplyDeleteI've stayed in the Ibis hotels many times--love their breakfasts! The location at Charles de Gaulle is great! Though I swear their bathrooms are smaller than the rest.
ReplyDeleteSmall bathrooms in France are par for the course.
DeleteThe spoons remind me of "iced tea spoons;" but, do the spoons have skinnier bowls, too? Or are they more like a standard spoon?
ReplyDeleteI too, thought the long handled spoons are iced tea spoons, who knew they would be good for jam!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post. Always enjoy hearing about your adventures and seeing your wonderful photos.The breakfast at the Ibis looked delicious with such a nice variety of foods. - Suzanne P.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne! In future I will always do breakfast photos!
DeleteI love it and it looks like, in addition to painting in your room, you're sampling your subject.
ReplyDeleteI am always sampling my subject matter - a big problem for me 😳
DeleteIbis has several levels so if you want something a little more special - try Ibis Styles. It is our go-to all summer when traveling - primarily for the breakfast as well!
ReplyDeleteI think I was in a Styles…names “Les Artistes” & very close to the conference.
DeleteHave a great day Carol ! Try to find Saint Nectaire cheeses, and look at their beautiful labels if you go to the market Saint Pierre for example. Such a beautiful area, I understand why there is the Carnets de l’aventure here, it’s so inspiring XX
ReplyDeleteI ate St Nectar with Jambon yesterday! And some at breakfast too but did not see the packages 😳
DeleteIbis hotels in France do look good! When I tested at one in London the breakfast wasn’t this good, but maybe the French have higher expectations?
