PARIS

Now that the jet lag is subsiding, I am getting back to my old Parisien self. Pulled about 20 books off the shelf and took them over to San Francisco book shop for a donation. Have decided to donate unwanted clothing to Eglise St. Sulpice , which is just around the corner. That is the church in the DA VINCI CODE. Never realized I bought so much stuff at Emporio Armani. Had a great 10 euro lunch of curried chicken (Blanc de poulet au curry) at my favorite zinc countered cafe: Le Vieux Colombier. Then to the Notary for a final private meeting before the signing of the sale on February 9th. Stopped at Colette on the rue St. Honore' on the way....the most incredible store...packed with trendette shoppers. Last week and this are the weeks of the Men's Fashion openings and they all rush to Colette to see what is ahead of the curve. A more sober stop was the book store Gallieni. They have been on the rue Rivoli since 18 something or whatever. My French friend Catherine says it is "very nice". That says it all.
