- 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…

ReplyDeleteL🩵VE the Toile-de-Jouie!!! So excited to think that I travelled that Metro line with you!!!! How I wish I was still there!!!!! Stay safe and healthy! Nicole from 🇨🇦
Oh…did we take the 10? Oh yes, Going the other direction to Gare St.Lazare 🚆 CAROLG
DeleteWow! Your life has certainly been upended by the Olympics, living along the Seine as you do. You found the perfect refuge in le Grand Épicerie!
ReplyDeleteThose flag-wavers must have been practicing for their big moment: the opening ceremony? Hope you get to catch a glimpse of the festivities on the river right outside your door.
Galeries Lafayette Gourmet for your next escape??
You read my mind…I was thinking of Galleries Lafayette Gourmet. Many, many desserts to paint vicariously CAROLG
DeleteIt begins 7:30 pm Friday evening 🤔 it will be very noisy It may be better to join them than avoid them 🤔
DeleteWill be watching on tv, and looking for your face in the crowd. Hope it absolutely wows you! BL
DeleteCourage et merci Carol!
ReplyDeleteI love the town of Auvers sur Ouise- right on the Seine and totally Van Gogh.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a nice weekend escape when the trains go there…
DeleteThose animals are beautiful. Love the artwork. Lynne
ReplyDeleteLooks like a convention of dog walkers. I love the Olympics but prefer watching on my TV to being in those crowds etc. Stay safe and away from the mess.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be watching with you wherever that is, since it isn’t here.
DeleteTake a picnic lunch to Buttes Chaumont park.
ReplyDelete☺️ good idea…but the event starts at 7:30. Butte Chaumont isn’t far away enough…
DeleteI'm in high gear getting ready for Fr cousins...I love your posts Carol. Laura
ReplyDeleteNo one paints pastry like you! I could see you setting up your parkside painting spot, and if anyone happened to walk by wanting this bit or that, perhaps you could work something out! I don't know if those coming to see Paris while seeing the Olympics will be seeing the real Paris -- the beautiful spot with no bleachers or scaffoding or viewing stands. Pity, that.
ReplyDeleteNice dessert paintings Carol. It’s pretty interesting having the Olympic opening ceremony outside of the stadium in the centre of the city, I’m sure they’ll have to block of loads of it to make it safe. Sorry you’re stuck in the middle, hopefully gets better after Friday.
ReplyDeleteHere in Australia we love the Olympics, even if the time difference from France makes it harder to watch live.
