My most sincere thanks to all for such kind words. Merci beaucoup!
Yours is really a most enjoyable newsletter. Interesting news and superb writing.
I look forward for this piece of, yes, literature. It will be the basis for my
trips to France. Thank you.
Oscar
Thanks so much for your Paris News Letter! You always have so much to say - so much news, of all
the happenings, in and around Paris. Wow! Actually I don't know why anyone would need another site,
you have covered everything to be covered. You have an excellent letter you really do!
With the most beautiful city in the world you write about and do so well, what I mentioned was
the very least I could have said about you.
Thanks so much again, for all your dedication to making this site - the site of all sites.
Pam, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
I look forward every month to receiving your newsletter as I appreciate the
time and effort that would go into this.
Being so far away, I find your newsletter very helpful and I feel that our
time in France isn't nearly enough. Although I have visited Paris and
France before, this trip I would like to see a lot more of the
real/everyday Paris and just not be on the run from "tourist attractions"
and I think you will help us achieve this. Thank you.
Lyndall Debney, Sydney, Australia
I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to read your newsletter. Bless
you, it's just wonderful. We've been to Paris twice in the past twelve months.
We love Paris - and the Parisians could not have been kinder.
Your newsletter is a continuing reminder - and a wonderful tool to help us
plan for a month stay next. Thank you so much,
Pat Hannigan, Medford, NJ, USA
AHHHH. Your newsletter makes me smile, reminisce and be determined to have
my little French teacher husband spend a year in France. You inspire me
to think positive thoughts about the future. Thanks so much for what you
do so well.
Shawnie Olson in downtown Homer, Alaska, USA
I just wanted to send a little note of thanks to you. I somehow learned
about your Paris newsletter, and have been receiving it for some months now.
It's wonderful, a work of love, clearly! For the first time, we had the good
fortune to visit Paris, this past
September, and when I read your descriptions, it brings it all back!
Stephanie Sarnoff, Eugene, Oregon, USA
Just a quick note to say "Keep Up the Good Work"! Paris In Sites is a joy to
receive and helps me relive Paris memories until I can return to create some
new memories.
Happy Holidays from your loyal reader in Austin,Texas, USA.
Lewis Rosenthal
I thoroughly enjoy each issue and make notes for our next, as yet
unscheduled, trip to Paris. We visited in 1996 for our 30th wedding
anniversary. I cherish every year, but the 30th was very, very special
because it was spent in our favorite city on this planet, Paris. We
acquired a computer only a few months ago, and because I am an incorrigible Francophile, I
discovered your Newsletter almost immediately, and eagerly anticipate each issue.
Every issue is a treasure trove of useful information. One of our
favorite places in Paris is the exquisite Sainte Chapelle, located in the
Palais de Justice, opposite Notre Dame. This actually justifies two visits:
one during the day, for some of the finest 13th century stained glass we
have ever seen, and another in the evening for the outstanding Classical
concerts. Sainte Chapelle is truly a gem.
Thanks again, Linda, for allowing me to live in Paris each month, if
only vicariously. It is so obvious you are passionate about your labor of
love.
Barbara Grelick, Barrington, Illinois, USA
I have read your letter for about 5 years and always look
forward to receiving it. My wife (a fluent French speaker) and I travel to
France annually, and spend a lot of our time in Paris. Your great letter
brings that wonderful city to us spiritually, when we are not there and long
to be there (which is all the time). When we go out of Paris we try to go
off the beaten path. One of our favorite places is the Lot River, and I was
absolutely delighted to read [in the December 2001 issue]
that you had dined at La Truite Doree in Ver. We
were there in October, 1999, and it was one of our more memorable dining
experiences. The people were especially warm, the food was delicious, and the
Cahor wine wonderful. I had the trout with almonds, also.
Thanks again for your very informative, and always anticipated, letters.
Byron Bailey, San Diego, California USA
I've been reading your newsletter for some time now. I've never stopped to
send you an e-mail to say thank you.
I appreciate your letter very much. I've been to Paris three times now and
each time the newsletter arrives I'm taken to Paris again... thank you.
My last trip to Paris was in September 2001. In fact I arrived in Paris
on the Euro Star on the 11th. The French people were so kind and warm to the
Americans they came in contact with.
Mrs. Winifred Shaddox Los Gatos, Ca. USA
It has been a while since I have written you about your wonderful newsy
newsletter. You never cease to amaze me about all the information you gather
and put out for us. You are wonderful! I find myself scrolling down
your newsletter and checking out all your websites as time affords me. I
feel so fortunate and blessed to have found you on the web.
When I find myself wanting to day-dream, guess where I go -- to find Linda's
Paris Newsletters. I feel so lucky to be able to leisurely meander through
the different places you
recommend.
Bernice J. Dalby
What a wonderful site this is, I am coming to Paris this Oct 2001 and found
so much vital information here. You have helped me with great research,
answering many of my questions. Now I am ready to see and explore Paris!
Thomas S. Colones, Greenville, South Carolina USA
I just want to take a minute to thank you for the great newsletter that you
produce. I love receiving it and love all the information you give.
Although I've been to Paris only once... but hope to return, I
thoroughly enjoy and appreciate all you do for your many subscribers.
I will forward this letter to my son in Colorado as he seems to go to Paris
(Melun, Fontainebleau) for 2-3 months every year to go rockclimbing. On the
days he doesn't climb, he likes to find other things of interest but not some
of the major attractions because of the crowds. Your newsletter zeroes in on some of these places.
Thank you again for sharing your passion.
Glenna Walburn, Boston, Massachusetts USA
We feel fortunate to have found you and this website. As a way to repay our
good fortune, I have periodically forwarded your latest issue to a friend. In
the spirit of your suggestion and the glow I have hearing about spring in
Paris and your garden, not to mention descriptions of Italy, I have outdone
myself and sent it to 30 of my closest travel friends. Hope they subscribe and do the same.
But don't blame some people if they subscribe, but don't forward; they just
can't help but want to keep this little gem to themselves!
Thanks for the monthly vacations!
Gary and Margaret Barch, Louisville, Kentucky USA
Wonderful newsletter, always great information... made our last trip to
Paris so much more enjoyable... felt we had the INSIDE SCOOP!
Stephanie Butz, Portland, Oregon, USA
Was sitting home with flu and feeling a need for the happier times. I was
thinking how wonderful it would be to have a look at Paris (my favorite venue
on the globe). The very next occurence as I booted up was your Paris In Sites.
I have spent the last four hours reading all the latest issue info and almost
feel well again! I probably would attain perfect health if only I could run away to Paris.
Your newsletter was the next best thing!
Diane Romaine-Rohrer, Granite Bay, California, USA
It is so good to finally find a website that interests me! Your newsletter
covers just about everything that I want to be updated about. I love Paris,
and I appreciate people who put a lot of passion into something, like your
website/newsletter in order to share your love for the city.
You're doing an excellent job!
Lisa Viel, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
This is without a doubt one of the best sources I have come across. Thank
you for your excellent articles and sources. The down side is that it keeps
me from my work! I'd rather be reading than working!!!
Jay C. Hays, M.D., Texas, USA
May I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your newsletter, which at least
briefly eases the pain of being away from the city I love best, and with no real
prospect of returning in the foreseeable future other than for brief visits.
Having only been there in midwinter in the past two years, you have given me a
golden reminder of summer, of leafy chestnuts, of drinking wine by the Medici
Fountain, of feeding sparrows in the Tuileries, of watching the real-life street
entertainment from a table in the Taverne Saint-Germain (a whole lot cheaper than
Brasserie Lipp next door and with better beer!) – and of so much more.
Bill Stronach, Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom
I signed up for your newsletter a few months ago and have found the
information very valuable. Thanks for doing such a good service for people
interested in Paris and France.
Russ, Poulsbo, Washington USA
I want to thank you for your wonderful newsletters! I am SO looking forward to
visiting France again... I eagerly await your every publication and am using the
information as I think ahead, planning my visit. Merci beaucoup pour vos
renseignements!
Carol
It's clear that Paris In Sites is your labor of love. It continues to be
wonderfully informative and innovative - keep up the great work.
Gerald M. Panter, Los Angeles photographer

Have I taken the time to write and tell you how great I find your
newsletter? It's a potpourri of wonderful ideas, information, and just
makes me feel wonderful to be able to have access to your wonderful country
in this manner. You include soooooo much in your newsletter
– it's great!
Bernice Dalby, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
My daughter and I just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris. Your newsletter
was an invaluable resource before we left so we could "pack" the most and
the best into our schedule. Even at 10 days – it was a short stay.
Paris is now my favorite city. Thank you for the hospitality we feel that
you extended to us via the newsletter. One week ago we were cheering,
enroute (and at the start and finish, too!), for the waiters during the annual
waiter's race. That is just one mention of an activity we enjoyed, thanks to
your site. Merci!
B. A. Hullinger Dublin, Ohio
I can not thank you enough for sending me your newsletter. It is a veritable
treasure trove.
I am in the process of developing a web site for my community college students
and I have been searching for sites that would fit my students needs.
I particularly like the
http://www.metropoleparis.com/ site which is great for learning about the French
culture.
Pamela Ellis, Professor, Southwestern Community College
As I read through your latest e-mail edition I wanted to write to let you
know how much I enjoy receiving it regularly. Your personal notes and
comments certainly make it even more special.
Ms. Laury Bourgeois, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to and enjoy the Paris
In Sites Newsletter. It makes me feel like I'm still
connected to the city of light.
Adele Miller, Springfield, MA, USA
As you requested in your latest newsletter, I for one will be contacting
those friends I believe should be interested in subscribing to your
Paris in Sites Newsletter. I mean what I say, and want to thank you again for
filling the void between being there and the next time.
George R. Broadhead, Beverly Hills, California and Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, USA
Great, great, great - as an American living in Paris now for 8 years
I consider myself a "native" and "in-the-know",
but I'm learning a lot from your newsletter. I love reading this!!!
Paul Burgess, Paris, France
I really enjoy your newsletters. For those of us who are elsewhere, your
letters are almost as nice as being "right there" – you "paint" a lovely
picture. Thank you.
Victoria, San Diego, California, USA
I love receiving you email newsletters which are written as if you were talking to a
friend. My sisters, niece and I were in Paris and Arles last April for two weeks. We
loved it and enjoy the up-to-date information you give and the chance to say we've
seen that, been there!
Julie Larson, Saint Paul, MN, USA
I hope, one day, to be able to call France my home but in the meanwhile
I must dream and remember and look forward to your newsletter.
Charles Blackburn, Los Angeles, California, USA
Thanks for all the wonderful information you share on your web site and in the newsletter.
Stephanie Girias, The Epicurean Traveller
I just wanted to let you know how much I thoroughly enjoy your
newsletters and their content. I had to return to the States for a couple of months
on business leaving my fiance and home behind after having just lived there
for six months and have missed it horribly the whole time I've been gone.
But reading your newsletter has put me back (and made me miss it even more!)
and allowed me to send my fiance off on different excursions that were
recommended in the letter, ones that we can both do again when I get home [to Paris].
Laila McCubbin, originally from Maryland
I love your newsletter so much I didn't want to miss even one of them.
Thank You!! -- for all the great information you put into each one of them.
Jane Searcey
I have been receiving your newsletter for several months
and it continues to provide a thoughtful and fond reminder
of a most wonderful city.
Steve Pittelkow, St. Paul, Minnesota USA
This is just to say how much I appreciate the Paris In
Sites Newsletter! The information has been very useful when I'm in Paris
(I visit at least a couple of times every year), and it helps me keep in
touch with my favorite city when I'm back here in Manhattan.
Susan Stempleski, New York
What a treasure trove of information was your last newsletter.
Jackie Donnelly, Michigan
I've been receiving your Paris In Sites newsletter for a couple of
months now, and I just wanted to tell you how much I look forward to
getting them. They're fun, helpful, informative, personal, well written,
and enjoyable to explore. Keep up the good work.
Leighton Smith
What beautiful work you do, and SOOOOO much of it!! Just received my first
newsletter from you and love it. 'Gratulations!!
Atticus Madison
What a wonderful newsletter you have written. I am very glad that I
decided to subscribe to it. It will be very helpful to us as we prepare
for our first visit to Paris this fall.
Janice
Oh, we love your letter! It has helped so much, and has a made a new
trip to PARIS more possible due to hints on budget lodging. You have
attained internet sainthood, that is, you are helpFUL!
Will of course forward your letters elsewhere.
Brad and Silvia Lemée
Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy the newsletter. I have been
subscribed for just a month or two, but I am already addicted. I
eagerly look forward to seeing the Paris In Sites Newsletter listed in
my e-mail inbox, and have enjoyed the links to other sites.
I have spent a great deal of time in Paris (and plan to continue doing
so), and I love learning new things about the city. Thanks for all the
great information, and please keep up the great job!
Vaughan Baker, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
You do such a great job; I save so many of your suggestions for our next
Paris trip. I love France and especially Paris and have such wonderful
memories. You are truly appreciated!!
Mary Ann
I just wanted to let you know that I have received the past three issues of
your newsletter and I find it so entertaining and informative. Keep up the
fantastic work! Once again, congratulations on producing such an insightful
newsletter!
Dionne Woods
We are planning a trip to Paris again in four years time for our 30th
anniversary to
compliment our trip there on our 25th in May of last year...
We use your newsletter to link to various sites to add to our growing
information folder for the next trip.
Mr. & Mrs. Robert Lovejoy, Connecticut
Again you've brightened up our world with your wonderful newsletter and
links to grand places. Keep up the good work.
Walter Pappas, Washington, D.C.
I appreciate all of your tips and am
so happy you have created such a wonderful and helpful letter.

Thank you, I very much enjoy your newsletter. There are many good tips and
information inside!
Alexa Kim
After knowing immediately that I wanted your newsletter
I have been exploring your website. Amazing!
Felicitations! C'est vraiment utile!
Madeline
Just a note to say I think your newsletter is super - It's a joy to read
everytime - I especially love the personal touch. I only get over to
France about once every 2 years, but your letter fills in the gap (and whets my
appetite!). Many thanks.
Caryn Guthrie, Capetown
Thanks for the newletter, I read and enjoy each issue!!
Tim Cissell, Dallas, Texas
Prior to a wonderful Spring '99 trip I took to Paris, I'd always been
fixated on the city, its richness and beauty. My trip was sadly over before
I could even catch my breath. Your newsletter and vivid commentary are a
balm for the aching I have to return... someday! In the meantime,
I am so enjoying your narrative regarding my favorite place on earth and
links to special sites about Paris and its environs.
Many thanks for your great work.
Kelly, Marlton, New Jersey, USA
