Ok, I have to grant you this picture was definitely not taken this week: such clear blue skies… Also, when would I have had the time to go to La Vilette? Still I thought it was a nice picture.

Last week

• A recap of Fashion Week on Mademoiselle’s blog

This week

• Ponies running wild along the motorway and the périphérique? It happened last Saturday! Fortunately, there were no casualties, just an impressive scene.
• A short recap of the President’s show on TF1 on Monday
• Last days to enjoy a special deduction for Versailles: 2 “passports” for 1! Until the end of the month, for visits in Frebruary
• This week is also the stage debut of Eric Cantona, with “Face au Paradis” at the Marigny theater co-starring Laurent Deutsch!
• Towards a ban of the niqab/burqa in public service areas? At least that’s what came out of the Parliamentary Commission on the topic

Next week

• Some Chandeleur guidelines! Happy crêpes day next Tuesday…

Later on

• Calais wants to be British? Well, at least they’re trying to profit from the 2012 Olympics in London… I hope it works out for them. Paris is not the only worthy place in France! (Even though I’m personally o so happy the JO are not in Paris, phwew!)

Random

• A NY Times paper on 2 famous Parisian “family” restaurants: La Tour d’Argent and Taillevent, both led by a third-generation family member.
• A very moving paper about Haitians in Paris trying to cope with the earthquake from afar.
