Working from Home

In view of the COVID-19 protocols and the enforced “social distancing” to slow the spread of the virus, many people across the country and around the world are working from their homes. Our team at Stylish Heath will be doing the same [until mid-April or possibly later depending on how the outbreak progresses].

Home for many of us is a place of refuge and solace, which feels particularly acute in these uncharted times. While being sequestered it is important to stay productive as we veer into domestic living. For that reason many of us will find distraction through home-based projects, so lets get into the garden or into the kitchen to test a few recipes, while staying calm.

We will get thru this, and lets keep in touch!

City of Lights

The spacious rooms at the Hôtel Du Louvre are a true haven after day of serious walking and sight-seeing. The hôtel is an inviting place to return to so one may relax and contemplate in the very heart of the City of Lights. Our room overlooked the l ’Opera, which is lit up each evening as if by the magic of nightfall. Hôtel Du Louvre Place André Malraux, 75001 Paris, France +33 1 73 11 12 34

The Brasserie du Louvre is typically Parisian in atmosphere and the décor is faithful to vintage French bistros: red seats, black and white checkered floor, and white tablecloths. After a half of day of traveling, then trekking an hour from the airport it was an absolute treat to have this establishment in our hôtel.

The relaxed setting with extremely long menus made it hard to decide what to eat for dinner. But no matter where I am in this city I always enjoy a fragrant bowl of French onion soup with sherry, Gruyère cheese, and fresh thyme.

Our waiter Benoit de-boned our Sole Meunière at the table, which is sole fillets dredged in a bit of flour, pan fried in butter and served with lemon!!!

Doors from a display in the Louvre, can you imagine these lovely items in your home…possibly to partition off a living area?
