Mademoiselle Eiffel is turning 131 today and looks Mademoiselle Eiffel is turning 131 today and looks better than some of us are starting to feel! I can’t wait to go back and pay her a visit soon. I may go alone, or with another Rick Steves Europe group. Fun times in Paris with tour members and fellow tour guide (and travel book author) the legendary Steve Smith, June 2019.

CHAT REPLAY: Well, well, well. I’d say the first CHAT REPLAY: Well, well, well. I’d say the first “Apéro with Véro” was a success, with up to 95 people attending the chat earlier today! Thank you so much for showing up and for participating so actively. I guess we are on for round 2 next Saturday. 🙂 Pass the word around! I will be sending more details about what to expect mid-week. Until then, feel free to watch the video in replay and to leave comments and/or questions below. What would you like to do or discuss during our weekend get togethers? . . Today, Apéro chez Véro featured: Comté cheese from the Jura mountains, radishes with fleur de sel from Camargue flavored with Piment d’Espelette, (yes, radishes are also delicious with salted butter if you have some, I didn’t,) cherry tomatoes and saucisson flavored with mushroom from the Cantal region. Wine: Côte du Rhône . . To unlock more exclusive content and behind the scenes looks at my Parisian life, consider supporting French Girl in Seattle on Patreon. Merci!

If you love Paris and France, if you love travel, If you love Paris and France, if you love travel, if you need to summon happy vibes and #petitsbonheurs, come over and meet me for my first IG Live event, “Apéro with Véro.” The place: my Parisian studio, “the 7th Heaven.” Day and time: Saturday 8:00pm Paris - 10:00am PST - 1:00pm EST. Let’s meet, let’s chat, let’s see if we can turn this into a weekly event. Many people discuss my homeland in English out there in social media. This is your chance to look at France through the eyes of a French native. Paris, la Belle France, French daily life, pronunciation tips: Be ready to jump in. I will do my best to answer your questions!

Don’t know about you, but there are only so many Don’t know about you, but there are only so many books I can read, so many movies I can watch, so much daydreaming I can do. Tour guides like to be on the go and don’t do “le confinement” well . I found a fun new project that’s been inspiring me for the last two weeks: French Girl in Seattle turns 10 in 2020, and I am taking it to the next level with a little help from my friends. More exclusive quality content. More behind-the-scenes looks at my Parisian life. More interactions with this French Girl online and in person . Check out FGIS 2.0. Link in bio . How about a Live catch-up on IG this weekend?

Paris, France. You are correct in assuming the wor Paris, France. You are correct in assuming the word “confinement” will still sound better than we will look, three or four weeks from now, with terrible haircuts and a few extra pounds. I suspect that’s why President Macron chose it: to cheer us up. He needn’t have worried. Since we have nothing much to do in the foreseeable future, let’s open the window and take a good, long look outside. One thing’s for sure, our planet has never looked so good! Take a deep breath and enjoy the show . . . . #nofilter #nature_perfection #beautifulearth #springhassprung #vincennesmaville #boisdevincennes #bloodyvirus #covid19 #parislockdown #parisienne #parismaville #fgistakesfrance #wanderwithvero

They say you don’t know how much you love someon They say you don’t know how much you love someone until you lose them. I always knew how much I loved Parisian cafés, defending them even as others touted their hipsterized coffee joints. You can keep your overpriced flat whites and Frappuccinos. I just want to sample “une noisette” at my favorite table at the Sarah Bernhardt again. Parisian cafés can count on me when they return! And I will bring my friends . . . . . #café #frenchcafe #coffeeculture #enterrasse #noisette #bloodyvirus #covid19 #parislockdown . . . #paris🇫🇷 #parisfrance #parisjetaime #parisienne #parismaville #parisianlife #parisgram #pariscartepostale #walkinparis #walkinginparis #flânerie #flaneur #seemyparis #thisisparis #tourguide #travelblogger #paristours #solotraveling #doyoutravel #momentsofmine . . . #fgistakesfrance #wanderwithvero
