Welcome to Postcards from Paris January 2018!
Welcome to le Nouvel An – the New Year!
Hello hello — if you’re new to Postcards from Paris — Bonjour ! Salut ! Bienvenu ! (Hello! Hi! Welcome!)
My name is Teena Hughes, I’m an Australian who has lived in Paris several times over a period of about thirty years, and I love to go back once a year if possible, and spend about six weeks feeling like a local Parisienne again :-)
While I’m there, I catch up with my friends I met there over twenty years ago, plus I host Adventures. I’ve also written a couple of books about Paris, and I love this city more than any other.
Enjoy the little French tidbits I have for you today, and do get in touch if you’d like to chat or ask a question. Here we go!

Le Loir Dans le Theiere
.My old-time favourite Tea House / Salon de The
Le Loir Dans le Theiere became one of my favourite places when I lived in Paris in the late 1980s, and I’ve heard that the name of this Tea Salon came from an unlucky dormouse which was thrown into a teapot during the Mad Hatter’s feast in the Alice in Wonderland story.
I’ll be in Paris in September 2018 – shall we meet at a Paris sidewalk cafe?
I’m excited to tell you I’ve started planning my next trip to Paris – woohoo!
I had thought I’d go in July this year, but September 2018 sounds like a better plan — can you meet me there? I’ve got my fingers’ crossed!
I’m deciding which Adventures I’ll host and will post online soon — if you’d like to meet up with me for an Adventure, I’d love to hear from you!

One of the first things people ask me about is how to speak French — and that’s a tall order, so I recommend starting with something small, like numbers or common words you might use in a shop or store. Here is a little video to get you started

Questions via the Website
- Where can I complain about Velib in Paris? (Jan 2018) >>
- Over the past few years I’ve had quite a few questions about this, and often it’s the language differences which make it difficult for both sides. I’ve updated this page this month to make it even easier for folks to work out what to do first.
