Okay so it was my last full day in Paris I slept in until 11am after turning off my alarm at 9am. I figured I wasn't going to make breakfast before it closed at 10am anyway. I was pretty tired today Yesterday was so busy I left the hotel around noon and wandered down towards the corner patisserie for a baguette breakfast. There was a protest going on in Berczy square something about public

Tuesday (Paris) edition: Wha’ Happened?

RandBall (Free subscription) | 27/05/2008

Well, that was fun. There is so much to experience, see and do in Paris that at times our trip felt like it was three weeks long. Other times, it feels like it was about 12 minutes. Not to overstate the obvious, but if you have the chance and have never been there, you need [...]

Woolly Days (Free subscription) | 18/05/2008

The work colloquially known as “Whistler’s Mother” is among those few famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and American Gothic which have transcended art and entered popular culture. The painting was in the news last week, as it always is at this time of year, in celebration of Mothers Day. The Musée d'Orsay painting featured on the first US stamp to commemorate the day in 1934. The woman that did...

Soon after our pre-dinner treat at Pierre Hermé, the skies opened and it began to pour. We ran back from where we had come and popped into this adorable restaurant - Le Petit Saint Benoit. We were led past the bar into another room fulling of tables and chairs. And I mean full! We were [...]

Real Review - Flight of the Red Balloon

Net News Publisher (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008

Flight of the Red Balloon is one of those movies where nothing much happens. It's a simple, relatively peaceful film, notable in part because director Hou Hsao-Hsien is shooting outside Asia for the first time. Hou's starting point–dictated by Paris's Musee d'Orsay, which commissioned the film–is La Ballon Rouge, the 1956 Albert Lamorisse film about [...]

Culture, over-boiled asparagus and cheap trains

Frank Branston (Free subscription) | 05/05/2008

My Paris jaunt was eye-opening, not to mention wallet-opening. It is some time since I was there apart from about half-an-hour on November 14, the opening of the St Pancras Eurostar terminal, and a brief stop on the way to Switzerland. In all my visits I have never been to the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre, [...]

No Playboy at playtime for the boys in Baghdad

A View from Middle England (Free subscription) | 26/04/2008

Censorship? No, it's more about decency. That's what Paul Broun unveiled in his House bill last week (April 16). The upstanding Congressman from Georgia says his Military Honor and Decency Act would amend a provision of the 1997 Defense Authorization Act that banned sales of “sexually explicit material” on military bases. Paul's all worried about the morals of the boys fighting the insurgents and renegades...
