Spring is in the Air

With the skies so gray for so many months in winter, spring can never come too fast. So spring was thankfully a little early at this flower shop near the Pompidou Center.

New Tour Announcement

I am happy to announce a very special one-time tour opportunity. My friend and loyal blog fan Mary Gilbert and her close friend Phil Nuxhall both from Cincinnati, are coming to Paris the beginning of April. Phil is the Historian and Tour Coordinator for the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati where Mary is a docent. They are both longtime cemetery enthusiasts.

We are co-leading a tour of the lovely Russian Cemetery in Sainte Genevieve Des Bois just outside of Paris where Rudolf Nureyev is buried in a mosaic-encrusted sarcophagus along with other famous Russian expats and after we will visit the striking modern Evry Cathedral, the only 20th century church in France, built in 1992, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta.

We would love for you to join us for this fascinating and unusual tour and we are accepting reservations for 10 people. Below are the particulars. If you would like to register for the tour please email me at r.nahem@gmail.com and I will email you further instructions.

Tour: Cimetière de Sainte Genevieve Des Bois and Evry Cathedral
Date & time: Friday, April 3, 1PM to approx. 5:30PM which
includes travel time
Cost: 40 euros a person not including train fare- approx. 10 euros

I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.

I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.

Stunning photos...really bright and cheery :-)

My friend and I are hoping to come over to Paris either May or June, and we would like to know if you could tell us the best area to stay. We hope to be there for a week, we don't know Paris at all. Would like some advise please.
