10 days in Paris... October, 2015
I've always believed that the best part of travel is the people you get to meet along the way. This was true in my 20's and 30's and especially true now that I'm in my 40's. Therefore I would like to begin this little pictorial with the meeting of non oth...
Fantastic photos, and a great narrative of Paris
with the most gracious of PuristS who always finds time to slip away from work and greet visitors. It looks like you had a wonderful time, and certainly this is a fine time of the year to visit. My wife and I salute you and yours! Cazalea ...
Wonderful
A great story, gorgeous city, one of my favorites. I can feel the warmth & friendship you have for Nicolas. Of course your beautiful wife to share life with. Cheers!
Nice pictures, great autumn colors and precious friendship!
Thanks for sharing. Best, SF
A joy to go through this photo journey.
Wonderful shots, amazing city, Nico gracious as ever. Glad you had a good time.
Hey, I see below
you're both a fellow Bruin and a 'traitor' from across town. How did they let you in??? Shouldn't that be automatic DQ?
Actually, I think they love taking each other's students. As for me having gone to both schools...
... I'll be a winner on November 19th regardless of who wins
My sister is a Trojan, me a Bruin.
A split household. We should meet next time I'm in LA.
Always a pleasure to see Paris through different lenses.
Nico is like visiting a horological monument. Magical. Thanks gor sharing your journey. Bill
You know Bill, you came up in one of our conversations...
I used to live in SoCal for many years and went to UCLA & USC for my undergraduate and graduate studies respectively... a "traitor" on both accounts When Nico found out that I used to live and work in SoCal he asked if I had met any of the other SoCal Pur...
Bill is one of my best friend. I can tell you that you will like him a lot!
Any plans to come to Paris during Xmas?
I'd love to my friend, but we just got back from island hopping in Greece!
I need to go to work and relax for a while
Is it possible that a year passed since then!?
Great city with absolutely inexhaustible amount of charm and secrets topped with Purist No1 Ahh such fond memories started to roll Thank you for this voyage Best D

I'm sure you would miss the charm of the city & soon you would visit again !! Best, mahesh.,
Wonderful post-- nothing better friends in Paris plus a very pretty wife.
Thank you for all the photos -- very Kool. Your wife has a great place and the pistachio looks and probably tastes even better. Alias, I was only in Paris once-- a great and beautiful city.
What a nice pictorial of special days !.. Am sure you & your lovely wife enjoyed those a lot !.. And well, with our gracious host..
.. it\'s often to a magic collection, not to forget his great hospitality AND horological knowledge ! Such a visit in the City of Lights, my fav European one ( next to my honetown), always is something to enjoy, to remember and hopefully to be re-lived so...
Thanks For Sharing, Of Course...
... Of all the fine photographs, the Pub Gay Lussac is not only Amanico's Office, it is one of the best landmarks of the fifth andisement. C'est Bon! - Scott
Really nice pictures !
I've lived my first 25 years in Paris and it's still my #1 place in my heart even if I've been now abroad for several years. It's good that there are meet ups within the group I'd be glad to meet some of you guys and share some of ma passion around watche...
Yep, I confirm we are very lucky living here in Paris...
So as to enjoy wonderful places, often excellent food (of course it dépends where you go... ), and we are lucky to be able to see Nico from time to time. No too often actually because his agenda is rather busy (the gentleman needs time to make all these p...
Wonderfull photos of the City of Light!
Thank you for sharing these shots! Paris, a place to visit repeatedly.... And I see you meet Vlad and survived... Watch you neck! Best Blomman
Kamy, what a report! Stunning pictures, nice story.
It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife, here in Paris. Feeding the long tradition of PuristS' hospitality all over the world. A great moment to be re lived! All the best, Nicolas
I've had coffee with the Vlad at the very same place :)
And can attest to his kindness and generosity of spirit!
Great pics !!!!
Visiting Paris is always special .... visiting Vlad in Paris is just out of the ordinary Bim
No worries mon ami ...
.. work is killing me ... the business is going well but i really have to work hard now ... . Not sure if i will make it to Paris this year ... :-( Bim
It was a pleasure Kamy! The last I visited Paris was late into autumn and almost winter.
Missed the golden hues of the leaves but enjoyed the time I was there with great company... Maybe next year! KR
Wonderful tour and pictures.
Thanks for letting us join you. But shopping for father-in-law gifts at a knife shop? Brave man, you are
Truth be told, he did look a little confused when I gave him the knife! ;)
But then he really liked his gift once I explained how special the Laguiole knives were and that he needed to give me a coin in return. And now he doesn't want to use it because he doesn't want to ruin it
Thanks for the great photos!
Really beautiful journey you took us through, thanks! Great that you met Nicolas, I'm sure you had a great time! S
Thank you for sharing Peripeteia.....
I looked up the Cafe on the internet, looks very inviting. Thanks to this forum Paris seems a very familiar city now, I learned about a few places to visit. Best regards Edward
