As of today, bars and cafés are closed in Paris As of today, bars and cafés are closed in Paris and parts of the Île de France, the result of new Health regulations local authorities introduced on Monday to try and curb the spread of COVID-19 . Restaurants got a reprieve for the next two weeks and remain open . For lunch today, I supported a local brasserie in my neighborhood, “le Luco.” It faces the Luxembourg gardens . Thank you for the glowing feedback following the video vignette “en français” I released on Instagram and Facebook on Monday. The adult educator in me was happy to see so much enthusiasm for my beautiful, yet challenging native language . I am happy to announce I will release a new video vignette, (documenting my lunch at le Luco) here on Wednesday . To thank them for their support, France with Véro Club Members at the “Flâneur” level and above will get treated to more footage “en français” each month, in addition to the French audio recordings I already share with them, “Véro’s Musings,” (peeks into my French life, with French and English transcripts) . Armchair traveling remains the norm for the foreseeable future: If you are a student of the French language (and want to stay in touch with la Belle France,) check out the many rewards available to France with Véro Club Members via Patreon. Link in Bio . It’s a lot more affordable to experience France like a native than you think, right now 😉 .

Not all Parisian “terrasses” are created equal Not all Parisian “terrasses” are created equal . There’s nothing quite like sampling a 21st century cappuccino prepared by @strada_cafe at a Gallo-Roman amphitheater dating back to 1st AD . Hope you joined my live-streamed walk to Les Arènes de Lutèce on Facebook earlier today.

Bonjour . And just like that, after yesterday’s Bonjour . And just like that, after yesterday’s downpour, the sun’s returned - for a few hours at least . It’s chilly out there. I could stay home and chat with you from my cozy living-room in the Latin Quarter later today. Or I could take a chance on the weather and invite you to join me on another live-streamed walk One thing I know about Paris: It’s best enjoyed (and experienced) on foot, out in the streets . Let’s do this! Get your Paris fix. Join me on Saturday on FB Live, at 5:00pm Paris time, 8:00am PDT, 11:00am EDT . I will take you through a section of the Latin Quarter you will enjoy (re)visiting . The sun will hide. It may even rain. Et alors? So what? Grisaille and rain: Not my first time around this block . À samedi? See you then? .

“Actually, Paris is the most beautiful in the ra “Actually, Paris is the most beautiful in the rain,” said a Parisian commuter... never . Aujourd’hui, il pleut comme vache qui pisse. It’s dumping. This is nothing compared to what Normandy and Brittany experienced overnight when a storm named “Alex” hit French coasts . I spent the day in the ‘burbs to help my parents. Before I left, I retrieved my favorite fall jacket and boots in their basement. We’ve gone through many downpours together over the years . A former Seattleite, I am not made of sugar (like my grandma used to say.) It will be fine. I just hope the rain stops once in a while this weekend, so I can go on a stroll and share another slice of Parisian life with you . On verra bien. Wait and see . Véro . @barbourinternational @taosfootwear
