Welcome to our first Collectors Edition, a 250 page issue filled with our favorite Fall Foliage getaways and more! In this Sunday Guides we will journey together through upstate New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, The Finger Lakes, and parts of Canada.  

We are so excited to have you with us today and hope you can subscribe to our show The Paris House on Joie de Vivre TV Network based in Paris, France. It is there that you can watch our video series on this beautiful region in the world. We provide a discount by using Michele10.

We love every season of the year. However, there is something poetic about fall foliage in the Adirondacks, New England, and Canada. There is a reason people travel from around the World to visit during the Autumn months. Having grown up in Upstate New York, close to the Vermont border, was the most idyllic childhood. The scent of cider donuts, apple orchards, and hot cider perfumed the air. I can’t believe how lucky I was to be surrounded by this beauty my entire life, and it never gets old. The mild sunny days enhance the brilliant colors of the foliage, shimmering onto lakes, rivers, and ocean. Evenings are cozy, bundled up in chunky sweaters, wrapped in plaid Pendleton blankets and fall fashions on moonlit hay rides. Sitting by the outdoor fireplace, sipping hot mulled cider spiked with a little Bourbon remains one of my favorite things to do. 

Our Paris House boutique section is curated with our favorite cozy stylish fall fashion, entertaining and beauty items that we love. From seasonal recipes, autumn sangria, our favorite books, and more, we are enjoying every moment of this glorious season together with you!

Maine’s beautiful and unique landscape entices people from all over the world to come visit. From its rugged cliffs and rocky terrain overlooking the Atlantic ocean to the most delicious lobster rolls in the world, there is something for everyone to enjoy. In this issue, we explore Kennebunkport, The Kennebunk’s, Ogunquit, Perkins Cove and Portland. You can stop for a day at the scenic Marginal Way at Perkins Cove, a quintessential fisherman’s village resembling a postcard that has come to life, or take quiet drives along the ocean with watercolor sunsets or head to a more hip and bustling town such as Portland. Enjoy fine dining in Kennebunkport’s superb restaurants, scenic drives along the ocean with views of Walker’s point the Bush Family compound. It is easy to see why Maine is like no other place in the world. 

Our family and friends have been vacationing there for many years, so we have an insiders view of this beautiful state. In this article, we will highlight our favorite hotels, restaurants, shops, beach clubs, theaters, and more to help you plan the perfect getaway. Maine is also wonderful in the autumn where it’s quieter, the prices come down a bit and the ocean is surrounded by evergreens and vibrant fall foliage. 

We have a wonderful New England, Canada, and Adirondack Autumn travel show on Joie de Vivre TV network which is based in Paris, France, more on that below in this magazine issue. We also have a more condensed Kennebunkport, Maine Sunday Guide from 2023 as well on our website. 

Maine is the only place I go where my heart actually aches when we leave and I long to return each year. I have traveled the world and I love every place I go to and I often say they are all my “favorites” but Maine is extraordinary. Read below to see which restaurant received food and wine 2024 best lobster roll award in America and we couldn’t agree more. Read our tips on how to throw a party on your travels, where to find the best flowers in town, our favorite coffee shops, and the most charming little beach where we love to walk our dog Ernie.

Our favorite “Late Summer Early Fall Fashion” beauty products, local out and about day trips, recipes and favorite books are all here, in this month’s Sunday Guides!

Travel to Newport, Rhode Island in this month’s Sunday Guides - summer beauty, products, fashion, recipes, hotels, and our favorite lobster roll. Enjoy a beautiful vacation on the Atlantic Ocean in gorgeous New England.

Summers in Newport Rhode Island evoke memories of the years gone by Gilded Age. From the mansions often referred to as “cottages” along the famed Cliff Walk, to the charming Bowen’s Wharf, it is filled with beautiful historic moments. The quintessential lobster rolls are plentiful, and we listed our favorites in this issue. What sets Newport apart from other iconic New England locations is its opulent mansions, complete with marble, ornate moldings, and enough gold to gild more than a few lilies! There is an array of hotel options, with stunning architecture and scenic views at every turn. Newport has that old world quintessential style, a European exuberance mixed with classic preppy New England style. In this issue, we travel through time into the Gilded Age to the Breakers Mansion on Cliff Walk. You must see it in person to believe it. We dined at four restaurants while on our getaway, varying from a quick coffee and pastry breakfast spot overlooking the bay, off-the-beaten-path lobster rolls, and the most scenic and tasty places to eat in town. Visiting an area this beautiful calls for elevated fashion looks without sacrificing comfort, sun-kissed skin, pretty lipgloss, and a spritz of a favorite summer fragrance. We include our “Out And About With Paris House” feature in each issue for other points of interest. Through appointment only, we custom design flowers, fashion photoshoots, and events for our clients. We style around the world in addition to our two locations: our idyllic countryside gardens and our urban studio located only 20 minutes outside New York City. Our favorite recipes are also is this month’s issue! When it’s too hot to cook, get grilling with our grilled shrimp brushed in a homemade pesto. We have it all here in this beautiful Sunday Guides.

When in Rome, one notices many beautiful things. The mouth-watering aromas of pasta and pastries, the undeniably fabulous style of the Italians, the way the light casts the dreamiest glow over the city, and of course the legendary architecture. The history of ancient Rome comes to life in front of your eyes.

It was wonderful returning to Rome, The Eternal City. The weather was around 65 degrees and sunny the entire week. I went in February, so that felt very mild compared to the NYC winter weather. It wasn't crowded & the comfortable temperatures made walking very enjoyable.

This Sunday Guides is a refreshed makeover and updated version of our 2022 issue. We added more Rome travel fashion, our “Out and About with Paris House,” and additional helpful travel tips and itineraries.

We are hosting a floral arranging class in Rome and have included all the details, we hope you can join us!

The Italians make everyone feel welcome and at home in their beautiful country.

I am writing the Mother’s Day Editor’s Letter at a favorite cafe in Bucks County PA on a sunny Spring afternoon. I am surrounded by flowers while enjoying an artisanal lunch, complete with bread baked in terracotta pots served with European butter and flakes of sea salt, zucchini fritters, and strawberry herbed mocktails. The meticulously curated flowers, plants, and home accessories beckon one to bring them home, wrap them in beautiful gift wrap and a satin bow for the perfect Mother’s Day presents. In this issue, we celebrate and honor the women in our lives, those who have raised us, nurtured us and helped shape us into the person we have become. Those who cheered us on from the sideline our entire lives. This edition also celebrates Spring, the sweet scents of lilacs, roses, peony, primroses, pergolas cascading in wisteria and seasonal fresh ingredients, evoking memories of years gone by and creating new ones. Immerse yourself in quiet moments of a gentle spring day. Put on your favorite floral dress and walk barefoot on freshly cut grass. Read a book in a hammock with a cozy blanket. Invite friends over and catch up over some “scandalous” girl talk, perhaps from Taylor Swift’s latest music! Visit your local farmers markets and bring home tasty fresh food & make your mom a champagne brunch in the garden (make our easy DIY floral ice buckets). If you prefer not to cook, go out to a relaxing dinner. A spa getaway to an idyllic country spa is another great way to celebrate! We have a special issue this month and there is something for everyone. A little extra love and a day of respite is good for the soul. Caregivers come in all different forms, so embrace this issue and that special person in your life who has guided you with love from that very first breath you took. Take time for yourself as well. You deserve it!
