Every once in a while, not often enough for most of us, you get an affirmation from the world that you’re on the right track. This is a story about a recent example in my life and the motivation behind Women’s Travel Wisdom. Last fall, one of our trips was a writers’ retreat trip to the Bordeaux region of France. This area is close to my heart; we’ve had a family home near St. Emilion for more than 15 years now. A group of 8 women came to the area to hone their writing skills under the tutelage of award-winning crime novelist Cara Black and travel journalist Sarah Lieberman. Cara Black (left ..read more

The Best Museums in Paris

When you picture your perfect Paris vacation, I’m sure you see yourself drinking coffee on a terrace while reading a newspaper. I bet you picture yourself strolling cobblestone streets and buying pastries. And I know that you imagine yourself lost inside one of the more than 100 museums located within the city limits of Paris – but which one? While you may be tempted to head to the Louvre to see the infamous La Joconde (Mona Lisa) Paris has so many other incredible museums that you’d be remiss not to visit. The Musée d’Orsay When it comes to Impressionist art, the Musée d’Orsay does not mess ..read more

Girls Guide to Paris

With Paris opening up and trips being planned, I want to put these cookware shops on your list as places to shop for baking and cooking equipment in Paris! Every trip I make to Paris I go to the same area- the 2nd arrondissement (see the full guide here). It’s where I lived for a year and a half during a 3-year stint in Paris and where I made my home in the city. It used to be home to the largest farmer’s market in Paris and because of that, it is THE area for cookware shops in Paris. They’re so close you can shop-hop from one to the next browsing and picking up unique baking ingredi ..read more

The Origins of Haute Couture: from Rue de la Paix to Le Sentier
Girls Guide to Paris
by Krystal
2y ago
I was very apprehensive about embarking on my new adventure as an Haute Couture embroiderer in Paris, I had no idea of whether I would succeed. Honestly, up to this point, I hadn’t had much time to explore the streets or neighbourhoods of Paris but thought it was important to brush up on my Haute Couture geography so that I could start sending out my CVs. École Lesage had furnished me with the basic supplies for Haute Couture Embroidery; a range of crochet hooks, six needles, a small scissors that was surprisingly sharp, a bobbin to hold my threads, and a borrowed thimble I had forgotten to re ..read more

Le Bon Marché: The First Department Store in France
Girls Guide to Paris
by Krystal

I rarely spend time in department stores but in November and December 2020, I worked for a French brand called Scarlette Ateliers at the Bon Marché. Surrounded by fancy French lingerie, I was settled in a comfortable armchair, embroidering knickers, pajamas, and nightdresses. On my breaks, I wandered around the beautiful building and began to discover the fascinating story of this Parisienne landmark. The First Department Store In 1852, Aristide and Marguerite Boucicaut began to transform a small shop on the corner of Rue de Sèvres and Rue de Bac into what became known as Le Bon Marché. Today ..read more

In the last two years the museums of Paris, just like everything and everyone else, had to deal with all sorts of changes. Now, the museums of Paris are slowly getting back on track and this winter some great new shows are opened and ready for visitors. One of the most anticipated exhibits and one I couldn’t wait to see so was there on the first day was the Musée Marmottan Monet exhibit Julie Manet, an Impressionist Heritage.  Julie Manet was the daughter of artists Berthe Morisot and Eugene Manet, brother of Edouard Manet.  She was her mother’s favorite subject and we can see her g ..read more
