Tomorrow is an exciting day in the household of “La Famille Chic” as our elder daughter La Chic Maman is getting married 30 years to the day since Monsieur Le Chic and yours truly walked down the aisle… mais oui c’est vrai! Since we had our honeymoon in Paris, I thought a little piece on …
I always love watching the Tour de France not because I am particularly passionate about cycling (though you do build up quite a bit of technical knowledge watching it over the years!) but because I adore looking at the scenery. This year for the first time ever, the first 2 stages of the Tour have …
When I first visited Vienna with Monsieur le Chic we were impoverished backpackers so poor that we couldn’t actually afford to go round any of the museums or palaces. I remember peering wistfully through the park railings at Schoenbrunn Palace then turning round and going back the way we came on the Metro line. Fast …
One of the reasons we love Switzerland so much is the wonderful way you hardly need to plan anything and yet with the efficiency of the Swiss transport system it all works like a Swiss watch with precision timing. We had a perfect example of this on our recent stay at Weggis on Lake Lucerne. …

One of my dreams is to go to the Christmas Markets in Central Europe. Although my adoptive homeland of Australia has many wonderful attributes I never feel it is quite Christmas when it is hot. Somehow it doesn’t seem right to be thinking of going to the beach on Christmas day or planning what to …
Bratislava was a place that I knew little about growing up in England. It was somewhere behind the Iron Curtain, a part of Czechoslovakia in those days, and no doubt drab and dreary. However our curiosity was piqued when we kept hearing about a place called Pressburg or Pozsony (to give it it’s Hungarian name) …
The “it” coffee to order in most Viennese cafes we discovered is the “Melange” which literally derives from the French word meaning “mixing” or “blending”. Since I don’t drink much coffee Monsieur Le Chic made it his business to sample as many as he could during our few days in Vienna and it soon became …
