Christmas at Disneyland Paris
You can't get more Christmasy than Disneyland. Be patient while you wait to tell Goofy/Santa Claus what you want for Christmas and whether you've been naughty or nice.

Please Note: Please read the very funny story I wrote about the frustration of banking in Paris.
It starts off with "I started screaming New York -style obscenities"
Thanks to Lauren Elkin for accepting my story and editing it.
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.
