23:38  le 16 octobre, 2026 dans 11e arrondissement, Paris, FRANCE - adding “tags” to this blog post

23:38-23:54 le 1er octobre, 2026   dans 20e arrondissement, Paris, FRANCE

The kindhearted Madame P. emailed me this morning:

“Bonne fête Teresa !  Aujourd’hui en France c’est la sainte Thérèse.”

Translation:  ”Today in France is Saint Thérèse’s Day.”  Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

https://www.therese-de-lisieux.catholique.fr/en/evenement/saintetherese2024/

I shall publish this blog post before October 1st, 2026 ends in France. I shall update and insert tags over the next few days.

Today, Nan and I boarded Bus #86 at the stop called “Porte de Vincennes” in the 20e arrondissement, to travel in the direction of “Champs de Mar” (near The Eiffel Tower / La Tour Eiffel). We rode 20 stops (approximately 32 minutes); then off-boarded at “Saint-Germain – Odéon”.

By the way… I always pay attention to the two stops before the stop I want. Why? Because… if no passenger has pushed the button to signal to the driver that he/she wants the next stop, and, if the driver doesn’t see any person standing at the next bus stop… the driver can pass that stop to save time.

The two stops before ”Saint-Germain – Odéon” are “Collège de France” and “Cluny”

Bonjour, everyone!

I wish you vibrant health, love and laughter always.

In spite of having tested positive on a COVID home test on September 24 and September 29, 2026… and hearing sirens in lively City of Light… and hearing jackhammering this morning…and the constant noise of cars, trams, more sirens … my heart dances.  Bonjour gut health!

Merci beaucoup,  chère MT, for having given me 5 COVID home test kits.

Merci beaucoup,  chère NN, for getting food for me and for inspiring me to leave Madame F’s appartement (lovely as it is) to get exercise, to walk and gawk in Paris.

Merci beaucoup, to all the dear hearts who wish me wellness.  I am most grateful to everyone.

En français

https://www.france.fr/fr/destination/paris/

Paris ? C’est un monde ! Chacun de ses quartiers s’explore comme un pays, de Montmartre la villageoise au quartier latin en passant par le berceau de l’île de la Cité. Et chaque pierre nous parle d’art, du séculaire musée du Louvre à la futuriste fondation Louis Vuitton. Car Paris est une fête permanente pour la culture, y compris pour la gastronomie. Ce n’est pas Alain Ducasse ou Pierre Hermé qui nous contrediront !

In English

says:
Welcome to the mesmerizing realm of Paris, city where every cobblestone holds whispers of history and every avenue unfurls a tapestry of experiences. Each neighborhood is a world of its own, a unique chapter in this epic novel of art, culture, and life. From the bohemian spirit of Montmartre to the timeless elegance of the Latin Quarter and the ancient heartbeat of the Ile de la Cité, Paris city is a kaleidoscope of emotions waiting to be explored. It’s not just a city; it’s a realm where even the stones are storytellers, where every corner is a masterpiece, and where every bite is an ode to gastronomic delight, guided by the ingenious pastry maestro, Nina Metayer, awarded as the world’s best pastry chef in 2023 !

Looking at Place de la Bastille, 75004 Paris

https://parisjetaime.com/transport/place-de-la-bastille-p1985

Au centre de la place de la Bastille se dresse la colonne de Juillet, surmontée du fameux Génie de la Liberté, commémorant la révolution de 1830. Mais c’est pour une autre révolution que la place est bien connue : celle de 1789. À cette époque, elle était occupée par la prison de la Bastille, symbole du pouvoir absolu de l’Ancien Régime. De cette geôle, détruite peu après la Révolution française, il ne reste rien.

In the centre of the Place de la Bastille stands the July Column, surmounted by the famous Genie de la Liberté, commemorating the revolution of 1830. But it is for another revolution that the place is well known: that of 1789. At that time, it was occupied by the Bastille prison, a symbol of the absolute power of the Ancien Régime. Of this jail, destroyed shortly after the French Revolution, nothing remains.
