Mea Culpa - New Paris Walks

Monday, March 22, 2010 at 9:37AM

Paris Place VendomeIt’s been a while since my last post, and while there’s little excuse for that, I’m going to offer one in hopes that you’ll appreciate my reasons. Hence the somewhat cryptic title - Mea Culpa...

Winter in Paris is a slow time for my tour business, and a great time to develop new ideas into tours and for me to enjoy some of the special opportunities that exist here.

Since I last wrote in January, I have researched and written two new walking tours. I also developed a fun new workshop about Perfume creation with two lovely Parisiennes you'll definitely enjoy meeting.

I love history, and I’ve been told I’m at my best bringing history to life while exploring the best of paris with visitors. What's not apparent to guests of my tours is that it takes weeks to research and plan a museum or walking tour, and that the resulting document is 40 – 50 pages.

Of course, I wouldn’t ever tourture people with such an overload of information, but I’m expected to be ready for questions when people want to know more. I think you’ll enjoy the results – initial feedback has been quite positive.

The first is a gourmet walk through the history of Paris.Gourmet Paris Walks

This innovative culinary tour explores the hidden history of Paris, following a varied menu sampling wine, cheese, chocolate, bread and pastries while taking in the beauty and history of the city. Together we visit parts of Paris that were witness to dramatic events, architectural innovation and scandal. Places integral to the lives of the Kings, Queens, Knights and revolutionaries who lived and walked in the same streets.

From stories of 11th century knights to seeing the historic ovens of the famed Poilâne bakery, no matter how many times you’ve been to Paris, you’ll finish the walk with a new appreciation of gourmet Paris. Read more about the Gourmet Walk

The second walk was parepared as part of my new job as the Paris Destination Expert for TripKick.

TripKick.com is a great resource to ensure you find the best room in a given hotel. They've researched properties all over the US and now have a new focus on Europe with Paris as a recently added destination. In a city where many hotel rooms are disappointning, it’s a great resource to ensure you make the most of your stay in Paris. Check out Tripkick.com

Paris Walking Tours

The “TripKick” walk takes you along the fabulous rue St Honore to the Louvre and the Place Vendome. While this is a much visited area, this walk offers a unique take the neighborhood. We’ll explore the intrigues and scandal that have taken place here from the scheming of Catherine de Medicis to a now beloved public artwork initially thought so ugly the Mayor of Paris halted it's construction. Then we'll arrive at the Louvre the way Louis XIV intended when he was the last resident King of the Palace.

Besides the work on the tours, I had the opportunity to meet two people who have made a major impact on French culture. But for that, you have to come back tomorrow to read further.

A demain! - See you tomorrow!

Referring to one pair of sneakers, we have to think over their capacity. It is no exaggeration to say that cool grey 11 is the most suitable for wearing casually and playing basketball, jordan 11 cool grey were eventually released in 2001 and re-retro'd in 2009 with the nickname "jordan space jams". Another version of the XI's were released on December 23, 2010 called the "jordan cool grey".the jordan cool grey 11 has very strong ground control. which is also one of the best capacity with perfectly understandable. If every pair of shoes has its own soul, undoubtedly, the jordan 11 concord is the most respect ones for me. jordan retro 11 was released in 2010 and had patent leather. which appeared in the playoffs firstly in early 1994. At that time, there are two version of this pair, one of which is the black / white color way, and we called it Jordan 11 Space Jam for being worn by Jordan playing movie.
