Lovely recap of your Paris visit. I focused in on that Tarte Tatin Cake. What flavor is it? Can you point me to a recipe or any suggestions to try to make it? If I make it back to France I will have to get to Rayonnance. Thanks for sharing 💕
You make me want to visit Paris again! One and only time was in April 1988. My rule since I turned 60 is to see as many different places as possible. Memories for the bank. But I think I need to return.
We recently traveled to Paris only to see the Rothko exhibit at the Fondacion Louis Vuitton. An exhiliarating experience that managed to turn this non-Rothko fan into a believer. Hope you have seen or can fit it in as it ends soon.
Your washing machine tale reminded me of the last trip (November-December) to Paris. The last two days I was there, the ascenseur was not working. A workman who was installing scaffolding on the7th floor had to carry it up. And I had to carry my four bags down. There were numerous other problems with the apartment, so I related to your "walk-through."
WIll add all of your suggestions to the on-going list. I brought back packs of Punitions last time, and it was amazing how well they did. Not one of them broke!
Off topic, but...on moths, what was your solution and did it work? I took note of a throwaway line on the topic, that you can always try the French way with sweaters: tuck a little sachets of cloves in with your sweaters. I haven't had any problems since I started doing that, and it's not the worst thing to have a little aroma of clove in the air.
Yes there’s humor to be found in the Wi-Fi issues in France but I think the secret to having (mostly) reliable service is that no matter how many times it changes or they ask you to “upgrade” or they promise you something — don’t fall for it! (With my last provider, I actually stood in the middle of my apartment and screamed. I think I tore a vocal cord…)
Omigosh! Just bought my ticket to the Rizzoli event. Ever since my son moved to NY (we’re Canadian), I’ve been trying to do “New York experiences” on my regular visits. All the things! Rizzoli was def on the list. A cherry on top you’re hosting this one ; )

I love and relate to this line: “....it’s delicious to have something that’s all yours”

Hi Dorie,
I’ve experienced horrible little beastie moths
Feasting on my oriental rugs. A rug dealer
Told me about Green Way moth traps on Amazon. They bring death to those beasties and
The don’t harm children or pets.
Once again I wish I could sample what you enjoy
while in Paris! Thanks for sharing!❤️😊

Thank you for your dispatches.

Wow just first reading your blog and loving it. Do you rent out you apartment
Makes me miss not only Paris but everything outside of New York State.

Looks fabulous both the fun and the feasting and the fabulous smiles at the end - thank you for sharing Dorie!
Bon jour... would you share what you baked in the bundt loaf pan above? I have a similar pan that has sat unused for a while. Merci
I love reading all about Paris I live vicariously through you keep sending them and I’ll keep reading them
I cannot believe that baguette shaped chausson and the tart tatin cake. My heart belongs to paris!
Beautiful post about your life in Paris! I am jealous!
