Nigel in Paris: a trip to Versailles
We took the train to Versailles to visit ol’ king Louie’s house!

Pop into the Louvre during one of its late nights, and not only is the museum much less crowded, you might also see a sight like this.

The Marais is a neighborhood on the Right Bank that is brimming with history and vibrant with modern energy.

I think this is actually the weakest STC episode yet, storywise. But the original series had weak episodes, too, so that’s part of the tradition.

A stellar example of a film that allows women to be fully human, including as scared, as asshole-ish, and as ignoble as men are allowed to be onscreen.

Authentically female in how it gets inside a lifelong friendship between two women, and as wisely funny as it is sharply poignant.

Including a noontime chime…

Featuring one of my most favorite photos of Nigel ever…

Nigel was uncharacteristically quiet after our visit to the catacombs and his confrontation with his own mortality.
