Posted onOctober 2, 2022November 27, 202216 Comments

Some time ago, on a whim, I typed “7 rue des Rosiers Paris” into Google Maps, just to see the building where I had lived for two months in 1962 and for a month and a half in 1966. I was surprised to find a listing at this address for Read More …

This house in the Marais district of Paris is where I lived for two months in the autumn of 1962, and again for a month and a half in the autumn of 1966. I learned of this place from a handwritten notice that was taped to a light post nearby. Read More …

Opera arias in the Place des Vosges

Posted onMarch 10, 2021June 26, 20202 Comments

Notre-Dame de Paris. 1482

Posted onSeptember 30, 2020April 6, 20213 Comments

The original title of Victor Hugo’s blockbuster novel included the year, 1482. He chose that year because it was still in the Middle Ages but was a year without any outstanding historical events that might have interfered with his story.

Louis XIII at the Place des Vosges

Posted onSeptember 24, 2020June 26, 20208 Comments

Louis XIII (1601-1643) has not gone down in history as one of France’s outstanding kings. He was not a popular swashbuckler like his father, Henri IV, nor was he an awesome long-lived Sun King like his son Louis XIV. At age eight-and-a-half Louis XIII became king when his father was Read More …
