Thank you so much for all these wonderful details! I can't wait for your next post from the Paris Book Festival. I just have to say, I loved listening to you read and then following along to see the photos. You are such a nice person, and I am definitely living vicariously through you. Also, you may just be learning the language, but you have a lovely accent!
oh my goodness, you're so sweet to say that about listening to me read, thank you! I didn't know if anyone even listened, so it's wonderful to have that feedback. I just touched down tonight back in the States and am planning to sleep for a whole day or so, and then I'll get that next post out on Wed or Thu!
Thanks for the tip about the clothes! I've been pondering what on earth to pack for Paris, now I won't stress over it too much. I won't be doing the Emily in Paris thing, anyway 😂
But I may take your suggestion about the Hemingway tour 👍
Are you going to Shakespeare and Company? That's high on my list.
The Shakespeare & Co. we all know and love in the 21st century used to be called Le Mistral, and only took the famous name once Sylvia Beach died, as an ode to her. Head towards the Rue de l’Odeon if you want to find the OG …
Par Is. It’s earliest name. The river Siennes was Is. Both lived and worked there. Complètement bilingue. J’adore Paris. Congratulations. On Damsel as well. Bise. As they say.
oh how funny that you have the same one! Yes, mine arrived the next day, after I got back from Lyon. :) So those are my actual, planned clothes in the photo of the sidewalk café the next day.

I just got home tonight! But Samuél took me to the original Shakespeare & Co site. :)
Are you happy you saw it?
It's... not much to see haha
👍
Protip: the OG Shakespeare ain’t where it seems …
seriously? pourquoi pas?

A literary walking tour! Oh my! As if it couldn't get any better! Love it!
Agreed! I love finding the little literary histories and activities in cities!
Luggage or not, it looks like you are making your way w/ aplomb, Evelyn! Kudos!
merci beaucoup! I am proud of how I rolled with it. ;)
Gorgeous pictures and you are glowing! Enjoy!
aww thank you, you're so so kind!
That's so exciting, Evelyn! Thank you for sharing this.
I'm really happy to have you along for the ride!
What a treat to read you after spending such a lovely afternoon together. Until the next terrace in a cobblestone street, keep on killing it 💪🏼
So glad we connect, Samuél! Until next time in Paris! And if you and your wife ever find yourselves in San Francisco, let me know.

Merci beaucoup! J'adore Paris aussi. :)
You gave me several good chuckles on your adventure. Glad you're having a wonderful time!
Life (and its mishaps) are better with some laughter, isn't it?
Definitely!
What an adventure! I love Paris and Lyon. :) Thanks for sharing all of the behind-the-scene details!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this piece!
Did you ever get your suitcase?????? I have the same one, minus the duct tape.
