Rollers et Coquillage contre le psoriasis

Opera garnier

A sunny day at the opera Garnier. It’s 18:00, I’ve decided to take a walk to place de l’opera and take the bus 81 to Chatelet from there. It’s a very nice sunny day and french people are doing what they do best: appreciate the sun.

I also need to open [...]

Surviving in Paris – It’s an art but french know that already.

Dear fellow readers.
From now on this blog will be in english.
