New oaks for rebuilding Notre Dame de Paris

New oaks for rebuilding Notre Dame de Paris

Rebuilding Notre Dame Last Fall while riding bikes through the Forest of Marly we saw some freshly cut oak tress of impressive size. We imagined them to be the new elements for rebuilding Notre Dame. We were a bit ahead in our thinking as the selection of trees has started in March 2021. Oak trees from French forests will be selected for rebuilding Notre Dame's own  “Forest” and another roughly 1000 for Violet-le-Duc's wooden steeple. The Forest of the cathedral is the framing that holds up the roof and consolidates the walls. It burned dramatically in 2019. The original medieval beams came from thousands of different oak trees and because of the size of the structure it was a rare architectural work admired by professionals the world over. Beginning 2021 was the time to choose the trees that will be used to rebuild this structure so that they can be harvested by the end of March before the spring growth begins. They will come from all over France from both public and p…

My French Neighbor and the Palais Royal Cannon

My French Neighbor and the Palais Royal Cannon

From the Traveling Note-book of GEOFFREY CRAYON, GENT. My French Neighbor, The Crayon Papers by Washington Irving, 1825 My French Neighbor I often amuse myself by watching from my window (which, by the bye, is tolerably elevated) the movements of the teeming little world below me; and as I am on sociable terms with the porter and his wife, I gather from them, as they light my fire, or serve my breakfast, anecdotes of all my fellow lodgers. I have been somewhat curious in studying a little antique Frenchman, who occupies one of the jolie chambres à garçon already mentioned. He is one of those superannuated veterans who flourished before the revolution, and have weathered all the storms of Paris, in consequence, very probably, of being fortunately too insignificant to attract attention. He has a small income, which he manages with the skill of a French economist; appropriating so much for his lodgings, so much for his meals; so much for his visits to St. Cloud and Versaill…

The Seine – A fleuve, part 2

The Seine – A fleuve, part 2

Continued from our previous article what follows are a few more suggestions to better acquaint yourself with the river Seine, this magnificently extraordinary fleuve. Pay homage to Django at Samois sur Seine Jean «Django» Reinhardt (23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953) was a Belgian-born, Romani French jazz guitarist and composer, regarded as one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century. He was the first jazz talent to emerge from Europe and remains the most significant by far. In 1951, Reinhardt retired to Samois-sur-Seine, near Fontainebleau, where he lived until his death. The popularity of gypsy jazz has generated an increasing number of festivals, such as the Festival Django Reinhardt held every last weekend of June since 1983 in Samois-sur-Seine. (The festival appears to be moving definitively to Fontainebleau for security reasons). Samois-sur-Seine is a town in the department Seine-et-Marne in Île-de-France. The town extends for about six kilometers along the r…

French Hollyhocks are not “French”

French Hollyhocks are not “French”

French Hollyhocks are not “French” Hollyhocks awaken memories for people just like Proust's Madeleines. My neighbor Kerry in Montana once said to me when she sees hollyhocks she is transported back to the streets of Helena Montana where she grew up. The hollyhocks would grow in every crack and corner and defined summer to her. Charlie from Seattle says "I remember the hollyhocks from the big country garden of my grandmother and the big city of my mother, they have such special memories associated with them." Another Montanan, a cowboy poet named Wally McRae, wrote a poem about his grandmother's “French” hollyhocks. For him hollyhocks bring back the memory of his grandmother's need for beauty in the hard-knock landscape of eastern Montana. It is only as an adult that he realizes how important it is to have beauty and not just a useful food producing garden. In reading his poem I was curious as to why he called them “French” hollyhocks. Are they really French? And so I did som…

Tea in Paris

Tea in Paris

Tea is considered a British thing. But tea is the second most widely consumed beverage in the world, 1000 billion (is that a trillion?) cups a year! And tea time is the best example of British "art de vivre". Since the French thrive on "art de vivre" they too have found a love for tea and tea time. Things have changed since the 1980s when my landlady Mme Cahierre made one pot of tea per week, left the single tea bag in it all week and simply diluted and warmed a tiny bit of her brew with hot water each day. Tea consumption has tripled in France in the last 20 years, but it is still small 230g per person per year compared to the British 2.3kg per person. Just look at these lovely spots for tea in Paris. Some of our favorite places for tea in Paris (and beyond) Thé-ritoires in St Germain des Prés, Paris Imagined as a family home where you just drop in, like a house where you set down your bags and stay as long as you want. A place to spend time reading, writing and telling …

French Like Moi: City of Light Bulbs

French Like Moi: City of Light Bulbs

By Scott Dominic Carpenter author of French Like Moi

Listen to Scott read City of Light Bulbs

Surprise is the highest form of pleasure, and it’s easier to find than people think. You don’t have to invest your 401(k) in Powerball numbers to enjoy the fruits of unpredictability, or even travel by Amtrak. No, it turns out you can simply move to Paris, where the ordinary so often leads to adventure.

It went like this. Shortly before Anne returned from the States, I finished painting the walls and pushing the furniture back in place. During my final check, I discovered the bedroom lamp had burnt out. This led me to hoof it to the local supermarket, which stocks bulbs of various shapes and sizes.

Only after I returned home with my trophy did I realize my error.

In France, the base of a bulb is called a culot, a word derived from cul, which translates as “ass.” Although ungentlemanly in some contexts, c…

14th of July in Paris: La Marseillaise and where to watch the fireworks

14th of July in Paris: La Marseillaise and where to watch the fireworks

Did you know?    The French call their national holiday, the 14th of July, NOT Bastille Day. 

In 2021 the 14th of July Military parade is back, the theme this year is "Winning the future".

There will be lots of folks lining the Champs-Elysées for the event, so bring a mask or better yet for a safer, better view, with commentary watch on TV.

Read more about the day's events on Secrets of Paris.

Homemakers – a textile Fab Lab with baby clothes workshop

Homemakers – a textile Fab Lab with baby clothes workshop

Do you know what a fab lab is? Or that there is one specializing in textiles and design in the 15th arrondissement of Paris? If to the first question, you guessed “a really cool laboratory”, you are mostly correct! The Fab Lab Also known as digital fabrication laboratories, fab labs are places where you are provided with access to the environment, skills, materials and technology required to make (almost) anything. The main idea behind the Fab Lab initiative is to build a global network of distributed laboratories for research and invention that encourage local communities to get acquainted with the machines, materials, design process and engineering that go into innovation. The Homemakers Fab Lab in Paris 15 keeps all of these promises and more, as they aim to accompany users from the beginning to the end of their project for prototypes and small production runs, providing personalized advice, access to industrial-grade machinery and offering workshops centered around ec…

Pershing Hall an informal American embassy in Paris. Past, present, future

Pershing Hall an informal American embassy in Paris. Past, present, future

Pershing Hall an informal American embassy in Paris. Past, present, future. Pershing Hall Past When the rue Pierre Charron was created in 1864, Napoleon III by Imperial Decree ceded the land to Duc Galliera. In 1878, the land at number 49 was given to the Comte and Comtesse de Paris by the Duchesse Galliera. In 1878 the land was sold to the Vicomte de Paris, and between 1879-1882 the original building and stables were constructed by the Vicomte.  The building remained a private residence through WWI when it served as General Pershing's American Expeditionary Force's headquarters during the war.

Today the rue Pierre Charron runs from Avenue George V to the Champs-Elysées. Created in 1864 (under Haussmann's reorganization?) the street had two prior names and was longer. In 1879, it was divided into 2 separately named streets Pierre 1er de Serbie and Pierre Charron (16th century theologian and philosopher), hence the building numbers start at 44!…
