American women in Paris
I meet a lot of people in
my store in Delray Beach, people who for the most part travelled a lot throughout France or even lived there. So, from them, I learn a lot of things happening there that I can share with all of you:
For you, ladies: if you live in Paris or if you are about to move there, there is a nice association called "American women in Paris to join". For a small fee (around 80 euros), they offer a wide varieties of activities ranging from lunches, museum visits to cooking classes, yoga classes and much much more. They also have a nice fundraising program. It is a very good way to meet people, stay active, discover Paris and be around american people. If any of you know this organisation from inside, please share with us in the comments below. Thank you.
You can contact them at +33 (0) 1 42 73 36 74. Visit their website at

Desig tour in Paris: a wonderful idea
If you happen to be in Paris or if you plan to travel there AND you love design and decoration, there is a great tour that you should do. Every week, on wednesdays, thursdays and saturdays, during 3 hours in the afternoon, for 30 Euros, there is a guided tour (by Nicole Barre who is a famous professionnal designer) of the best design places of a specific area in Paris. You get to see decor boutiques, galeries, professionnal show-rooms and more. You will meet some of the most famous and trendy designers of Paris. Nicole Barre will show you the latest trends in design and decoration. You will also benefit from coupons in the main decor boutiques.
I just discoverd this tour so I haven't had a chance to do it but next time I go to Paris, I will do the Saint Paul Design Tour which sounds particularly interesting.
Visit their website where everything is explained (but only in French, ask me if you need help_)
