It’s been a while since I last posted about a japanese food address in the capital: you can already find some on my map, but as I’m always up for new japanese experiences in Paris, here’s a new one!

Fruits & Yogurt popsicles You’re not learning anything new if I tell you that the last couple days gave us some almost unbearable temperatures to deal with: we had to use all kinds of trickery and ploys to find a way to stay cool: movies, sprayers, wet tshirts, head in the fridge … On … Read more

Let’s get on with the visit of The Arcachon Bay with a stop by the Cap Ferret. It was the very first time for me: even though I have been hearing about it for ages! Cap Ferret by boat We decided to access this little paradise with a boat from Arcachon. The boat-ride is … Read more
When you work in creative domains, the frontier between work and play is often tenous, and you often don’t even count the number of hours spent on a project! I generally work from home, but last week, May Day was a great time for HP & Intel® to show me another – even more pleasant … Read more
