Paris au Flaneur
I invite you to join me for a Paris walking tour au flaneur as we wend our way from one side of Seine beginning with a discussion of the importance of the café in Parisian life and the luminaries like Sartre, de Beauvoir, Camus, Juliette Greco and Miles Davis who filled them to the other, pausing to enjoy the obvious (the Louvre) and the slightly hidden (Galerie Vivenne.)
I am a reader of the Paris Insider and prior to the Martin Walker tour in April, my friend, Ellen, and I did the flaneur tour with Terrance. We met him at Las Deux Magots and spent a lovely day walking around Paris, seeing areas we would not have visited on our own. We particularly enjoyed lunch at one of his favorite cafes and seeing the beautiful Galerie Vivienne. Terrance is one of the most widely read individuals I have ever met. His wealth of information is incredible as attested to in his newsletter. It was a delight to meet him and see parts of Paris through his eyes.Melanie --Chicago

Remembering Marty
!934-May 29, 2024
I was sorry to hear of Marty Ewenstein's passing. I met him here in Paris at a Sunday Brunch when I remarked that if I spent a dollar of capital my Swedish mother would come down and strangle me! He roared with laughter. It was a common appreciation of the role of savings and thrift so central to immigrant success in the American story. A successful financial adviser, Marty greatly appreciated the intersection of sharp thinking and good investment -- the commonseseness of its uniqueness. A friendship was formed and we shared several lunches together at Les Deux Magots over the years. He was always interested in a conversation where one could bring some new ideas and thinking to the party. He was one of the best to come up off the sidewalks of New York.–Paul Myers
