How I found myself in Paris: experiences, adventures, and insights
01
Introducing Valerie’s Granddaughter
I have been obsessed with Paris since I was a young teen in the 80s (hello GenXers!), and my grandmother nurtured that passion along with my budding interest in fashion, shopping, and looking like all of the women I saw in the glossy pages of magazines.

My first time in Paris
By myself? As I wrote in my intro story, embarking on a solo journey to Paris at 50 wasn’t the original plan. Not even something I wanted. Definitely not what I had envisioned. Determined to fulfill my dream of Paris, I resolved to go anyway. Solo. As a woman at a certain age. Bon voyage!
