Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. The cats are pretty much where they were more than a week ago before we went to Paris. #quatrechats #plusçachangepluscestlamêmechose #fourcats #themorethingschangethemoretheystaythesame #whatwearedoingtoday #ilovecats #adoptedcatsofinstagram #sleepingcats (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvSIpiJUk_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Paris has a lot going for it, but it doesn’t have Pugcat! I really missed our house full of animals. I’m so glad to be at home with them. But Paris is still better than Oakland, just saying. #pugcat #pugcatkitten #pugcat_kitten #ilovepugcat https://www.instagram.com/p/CptOtr1vxYN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Early Sunday morning, gray and drizzly, on the way to Charles de Gaulle Airport. When other cities would feel dreary, Paris is still magical. It’s been a great week. #earlymorningparis #jadoreparis #illbeback (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CprZ72Ps9Jl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My breakfast companion du jour. Our hotel restaurant where they serve the complimentary breakfast is a bit on the odd side. See previous posts with rhinoceros 🦏 and Hieronymous Bosch carpet. #hotelducollectionneur #anamericaninparis #breakfastwithfriends (at Hotel du Collectionneur Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CppIn1fIuCM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At breakfast I happened to look down at the weirdest carpeting I’ve ever seen—eyeballs, planets, Venus fly traps—made me think of Hieronymous Bosch paintings. #scarycarpet #hotelcollectionneur #hieronymosboschwouldlikethis #eyeballcarpet (at Hotel du Collectionneur Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmfTWrIIEm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cheers! Drinks and dinner at Le Murillo. Negroni for Bob, a (non-alcohol) Lemon Spritz for me. So much good food in Paris! #lemurilloparis #dinnerinparis #cocktails #mocktails (at Le Murillo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjGBDXItFh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The award for best crisp bag design goes to Tyrell’s. I know, not really French, but I couldn’t resist them at the market. #tyrellscrisps #ilovepotatochips (at Monoprix) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiE1HcIJeK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
