Chocolate in Paris

I did a chocolate class at his shop several years ago... he can't speak English.. I can't speak French.. but we both speak chocolate. This is THE BEST chocolate shop around town. Jacques Genin.

What is Tricia doing in Paris ?

Bonjour! I have been doing quite a few senior sessions in June. We've been having lots of fun. It's so nice to go to the Eiffel Tower in the morning before the crowds.

Roller blading in Paris summer 2011

Bonjour! It was roller weekend here on Sunday. They said that Sunday was for beginners and families - well.. I am a good skater and I found it a little tough towards the end. There were hills and it was 3 hours. So you have to keep up the pace. I looked far and wide over the internet for information. So here it is: there are two skates. One on Friday night and one on Sunday afternoon. It says that on Friday night starting at 10pm is for the advanced. Take that seriously. Unless you can do tricks you probably shouldn't try it. The sunday one does have some kids and if you are good shape you can probably do an hour. However, I'm a good skater and I did finish the whole thing but .. I had help at the end. The staff surround you (close streets and are in front and behind) to keep it moving and they will assist you down hills (grab their shoulders) or help you over cobblestones - or try to pull you up hill! LOL. They were fanstastic. I didn't really get chance to tell them that. I needed all of the above listed help! I also suggest having a small back pack with water, a snack, and your shoes. That way you can drop out if it's too much and take the metro back. The place to meet for Sundays is at the Bastille metro stop - there is a place called Nomades that rents roller blades and pads its just down from Bastille on 37 Blvd Bourdon. +33 1 44 54 07 44 Actually you can hang out at the shop for the group to start. They head down that road. Just watch and join the crowd. It starts at 2:30. Get there early to get your skates and practice a bit. Have fun!! If you try this please leave a comment on my blog! Merci! Tricia PS) Thanks to the cute French guy staff for helping me down hill ;)

PS) you will burn off a weeks worth of chocolate if you finish the whole thing =)

Paris - the weekend

Bonjour! Lots of pics to post here. Had a great time scouting out the city. So many places to see. Around every corner there is a new place for a photo op! Here are some night scenes by the Lourve!

High School Seniors

Had so much fun yesterday morning at the Eiffel Tower. The first session here of the season. The weather was great - a bit cool- but it was partly cloudy and nice. The flowers are in bloom. Off to the Latin Quarter to look for a "take away" sandwich shop...

Painting the metros

I thought this was great attention to detail. They just painted the railing and then they went back over it with darker paint to give it that aged "rag roll" look.

Tricia's travels! My place in Paris.

My Street in Paris! I'm on the top floor - I'm glad I got an elevator!
