Sunday Paris Report

 

It has been a pretty quiet week in July 

With very moderate temperatures compared to Southern Europe 🙏 Today Rain ☔️ is expected.

I mailed out the last of the Paris letters🤸‍♂️

Many Parisians have flown the coop to their Summer vacances 

While the rest are hanging out at Paris Plages picnicking along the Seine

I noticed some ‘Barbie movie’ influences- a toute en rose outfit + matching man purse and the high Barbie ponytail Which the Guardian warns few can wear.

A general map of the area on a signboard. No printed flyers this years - saving trees. 

None of the usual glam potted palm 🏝️ trees this year, but real trees perhaps to be replanted?

I miss the sand faux beaches 🏝️ of former times like 2016 😢

But unecological peut-être 

Ooooo…here’s a thumbnail done at Paris Plages sandy beaches in 2016! I did not appreciate…

After showering you with cobblestone/pavé thumbnails last Sunday…

I popped into Hotel de Ville Paris tourist office to see if they had any Paris Plages flyers (no way). I discovered full-size metal Paris street signs for sale👏 (49€).

Earlier in the week post-pool 🏊 some Summery cafe tables…I’m trying desperately to get there this morning🙏  Sunday afternoons the kiddies take over 😟 and all hell breaks out

More Paris cafe. What would you like to see PBers?

Watermelon bowls! In a a favorite Mediterranean crafts shop I love ❤️ to browse near the pool on rue Saint Merri

Called Respiro (breathe)

What THEY are wearing - sports gear is OK as Streetwear 👍 

Did I say I decided recently to try out new Berthillon flavors this summer instead of the same ole, same ole (lately prune - Armangac). This one is blueberry🫐/myrtille. What’s your favorite flavor? 

Here’s a nice place to eat & it will probably remain open all summer with bridge views of Notre Dame, La Rôtisserie d'Argent  (Jennifer was worried about August). Get the chicken 🍗 

I did NOT make it to the pool☹️ The rains came. I may go out scouting the weekend-only cookies 🍪 I told y’all about…though since I mentioned them, they are consistently sold out by the time I get there 😖 M.Frenchie will not make more to accommodate. 

Remember to stop by my ETSY SHOP for PARIS LETTERS & STUFF 👍👏

I found a new bird to get excited about but it would take forever to get here from Alibaba …and it SINGS 🎵 if you yell at it 😂
