Begun in 2010, this blog offers analysis and reflection by Susan Bailey on the life, works and legacy of Louisa May Alcott and her family. Susan is an active member and supporter of the Louisa May Alcott Society, the Fruitlands Museum and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House.
Charline Bourdin of the Louisa May Alcott En France blog just sent me the most charming pictures of summertime Paris and Meudon where May Alcott Nieriker lived in the 1870s. Seeing these pictures gave me such a rush and I could see why May was so inspired. I traveled to this area as a teenager and it brought back a flood of wonderful memories. How I would love to visit this place now, knowing May walked those streets. Come walk with me …

Beautiful! C’est belle! Thank you, Susan, merci, Charline! I think what I may love most is how that river in Meudon is not so unlike the Concord River.
Merci a vous pour ce merveilleux voyage a Paris!
