Buxy & Nearby Towns
I had an amazing time at Nadja Lancelot’s silk painting workshop in Buxy, France. The whole area was postcard perfect. There was so much to see that I only had time to complete 2 paintings. No regrets. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much wine as I drank this week. Fred, I’m sorry to say I wasn’t converted…except maybe to the Crèment with Violette.
La Table de Chapaize
I don’t think I’ve ever had as much wine as I drank this week.
World’s best foie gras… wish they hadn’t told me how it’s made
Pizzeria Café De La Gare
My first ever Aperol Spritz was yummy.
Hilarious. My choice was narrowed to 2 items. Even their sorbet had trace amount of milk so I couldn’t have that. Had an Aperol Spritz for dessert, mmmmm
A minor substitution made the salmon salad edible — switched the mozzarella to chèvre
Lexi was the only one who left disappointed
Beaune, France
La Petite Taverne
Chicken for sale at the open air market.

Chillin’ by the Seine
Catacombs of Paris
Absolutely worth seeing, but if you’re tall, claustrophobic, extra sensitive to the supernatural, or can’t walk down (then up) 131 steps, you might want to reconsider.
Paris
Gong Bath room at Zen & Sounds. An awesome experience. I’m hooked!
The Marais — felt at home in the gay-borhood. Loved seeing my queer family.
Streets of Gay Paris
Fell in love with Olivier Massebeuf’s art
Swing dancing in the streets
Even when it’s this empty they have a bit of an attitude when they ask if you have a reservation. So French, LOL
Random architectural beautiful
Road the boat bus on the Seine
Had quite the adventure on this vintage Citroen tour
It was weird walking past the guy using the urinal to get to the other half of the unisex bathroom
I guess they get a lot of people who are used to squat toilets

House of Claude Monet
The bees at the Monet house were very cooperative models
