French Bread Directly From Paris, France


How would you like to be able to buy French bread directly from Paris, France and have it delivered fresh to you straight away?  You can do it.  This morning I saw a posting on facebook from Chief Ina Garten, also known as The Barefoot Contessa.

Apparently Ina Garten likes to order crusty French bread from Paris.  Poilane Boulangerie will ship French bread out to you via FedEx to your front door.   How cool is that?  I assume that it must be worth it if people are willing to pay the FedEx shipping cost.

Vintage Paris, France


Reading the book, My Life in France by Julia Child really stirred within me such wonder and curiosity about what Paris must have been like before 1965.   This curiosity made me go in search of photographs showing Paris during early to mid 1900's.

Some of the photos that do not include the Eiffel Tower look like photos of old Brooklyn, New York that I have seen.

Boulevard Saint Germian, Paris France



Saint Germain is one of my all time favorite Ascended Masters.  I read many books by Saint Germain; most notably the I AM Discourses.  When I see signs Boulevard Saint Germain street signs in Paris photos I always think of Saint Germain the Ascended Master.  In my own mind this street is honoring the ascended Saint Germain of the I AM activities.

Boulevard Saint Germain got its name from the Abbey of Saint Germain de Pres.  The abbey is the burial place of the Merovingian Kings.  The abbey was founded in the 6th century by Childebert I, son of Clovis I.  Under royal patronage the Abbey became one of the richest in France; it housed an important scriptorium in the eleventh century and remained a center of intellectual life in the French Catholic church until it was disbanded during the French Revolution. An explosion of saltpetre in storage leveled the Abbey and its cloisters, the statues in the portal were removed (illustration) and some destroyed, and in a fire in 1794 the library vanished in smoke. The abbey church remains as the Église de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.

The streets of Boulevard Saint Germain are alive with magnificent architecture and culture.
