"THE SECRET SEX LIFE OF LOUIS THE 14TH: THE SUN KING'S MISTRESSES "

Louis XIV, the famous Sun King, had gargantuan appetites for power, glory and… women. In a staunchly Catholic France one wonders how he managed to keep his wife the Infanta of Spain happy while he dallied with Louise de la Vallière, Athénaïs de Montespan, the princess Soubise, Angélique Fontanges, and Françoise de Maintenon to name but a few…

Come and hear some bawdy tales from the bedroom of one of the most remarkable kings of France.

We still have signed copies of last week's special guest, Alec Lobrano's "Hungry For Paris" available at an exceptional Paris Soirees price.

Alexander Lobrano grew up in Connecticut, and lived in Boston, New York and London before moving to Paris, his home, today, in 1986. He has been the European Correspondent for Gourmet magazine since 2000, and has written about food and travel for Bon Apetite, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure, Departures, Condé Nast Traveller, and many other publications in the United Sates and the United Kingdom.

Alec shares his personal selection of the city's best restaurants, each of which is portrayed in savvy, fun, lively descriptions that are not only indispensable for finding a superb meal but a pleasure to read.

Alec Lobrano reveals the hottest young chefs, the coziest bistros, the best buys --including those haute cuisine restaurants that are really worth the money--and the secret places Parisians love most, together with information on the delicious dishes, ambience, clientele, and history of each restaurant. A series of delightful essays cover various aspects of dining in Paris, including "Table for One" (how to eat alone, "The Four Seasons" (the best seasonal eating in Paris), and "Eating the Unspeakable" (learning to eat what you didn't think you like). The New York Times has just listed Alec's site as one of the best food blogs. Illustrated by former Life Magazine photographer Bob Peterson.

"NAUGHTY PARIS..."

Heather Stimmler-Hall will present her book. "NAUGHTY PARIS: A LADY'S GUIDE TO THE SEXY CITY "

GENTLEMEN WELCOME. FOR ALL NAUGHTY PEOPLE IN PARIS

Paris is arguably the sexiest place in the world. After all, which city brought us the Moulin Rouge, Henry Miller’s scandalous novels, and the series finale of “Sex and the City?” The source of its infamous naughtiness, however, remains hidden behind closed doors.

But these doors aren’t locked. Au contraire. The world of sexy Paris is open to anyone who knows where to look…and dares to discover.

Written for and by the fairer sex, Naughty Paris: A Lady’s Guide to the Sexy City is the first guidebook that presents the city’s erotic underside in a sophisticated yet accessible tone that appeals to both the innocently intrigued and daring divas alike. Whether you want to be titillated by erotic art or seduced at the city’s most exclusive swingers’ clubs, this guide is the key to choosing your own adventure.

Heather Stimmler-Hall is from Philadelphia and Arizona She has a traditional news journalism background and moved to France in 1995 as a student. She has been living full-time between Paris and the French Riviera since 1998 and working as a writer, editor, web mistress, and tour guide extraordinaire. Heather will have copies of her book available at a special Paris Soirees price.

Article By Jim Ounworth who uses the pen name of S. Lawrence:

What I Learned from Typhoons

When I was a young officer on my first ship after graduating from the US Naval Academy, we were deployed to the Far East as part of the initial Vietnam buildup in 1964. In fact, we were one of the ships involved in one of the Tonkin Gulf “incidents” and patrolled frequently in the South China Sea.



From time to time a typhoon would hit the area and the Navy would carry out evasion tactics. In thinking of them recently while contemplating the present financial meltdown, they seemed to be worth reviewing.



First, if we were in port, the chief port then being Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, we immediately put to sea. One of the worst things for a ship was to be trapped in rough seas in a port, moored to a dock. There was no room to maneuver and evade.

Then we tried to clear from the path of the typhoon. However, if unable to clear, we would try to stay on the outer rim of the typhoon path, running against the direction of the typhoon winds and seas. The last thing we wanted to do was to be caught sideways and rolled by the winds and seas, or be caught from behind and driven into the ocean by those same winds and seas. We had to stay in control and head into the storm.

The ship also was “battened down”, meaning everything movable was tied down. With respect to the crew, only those needed to be at watch stations to run the ship were up and everyone else could just hang on in their bunks. And that we did. I still can sense the violent movements. I can hear the bow of the ship rising up as we drove into the oncoming seas, and then smacking down with a big thud in the trough following each wave.



In sum, we cleared port, ran to try to avoid the storm, tied everything down, and hung on until the typhoon passed.

“These are the times that try men’s souls” wrote the American patriot Thomas Paine around the time of the founding of the United States. Of course, he was talking about something more serious than the worst financial meltdown, the impending revolutionary war against Great Britain. Nonetheless, the present financial crisis is a disaster and there seems to be no end in sight. The experts have no idea of what to do; the remedies so far have failed miserably; the predictions of an end have been widely inaccurate. We are in a typhoon mode.

I am proposing to clear the port (forget all the prognostications), strip down the finances to the essentials, hold tight, listen to the crashing of the wave equivalents, not flow with the debacle, and ride it out. Unfortunately, this time it will be much longer than a few days of a typhoon.

SWAMI YOGARATNA SARASWATI

"MORE SECRETS FROM THE ASRAM"

An ashram is a place where you go to 'work' on yourself, to work hard to serve the Guru and ashram community. Yogaratna will tell you more about some of the adventures in ashram life, often humorous and highly dramatic, and give you a simple example at the end of her talk of how easy meditation can be.

Yogaratna (her sanyasin name as a renunciate) immersed herself in the rigours of a traditional ancient Indian ashram life from the Tantric lineage, where she learned the essence of Eastern mysticism from many yogis and sages. For 22 years Yogaratna has been practicing and teaching all forms of yoga, meditation, yoga therapy and Indian Spirituality throughout, mainly, South India, and also in the US, UK, Australia & New Zealand. She was born in Paris of an Australian artist and an Australian musician and raised in India. She currently resides in Paris.
