The restaurant ‘FL’ was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing and the restaurant was fresh, clean and modern, yet very French! VERY impressed and happy to pay the bill – which was well priced for what we ate and drank !

Staying in Paris early in July, we decided to book a show at the Lido Cabaret. The Lido show is not worth it ! Don’t waste your money on it !

24 Hours Trip in Paris

Opera House Paris
We arrived at Gare du Nord via Eurostar and chosed to walk to our hotel, the Gaillon Opera. We must admit it was a quite long way to the hotel but weather was so warm and sunny… Great welcome, perfect location and very quiet place. We went to Paris for a one night stay as we had a show at the cabaret La Belle Epoque nearby the hotel which is very convenient. We also walked all around to the Louvre museum, the Tuileries Garden, Galeries Lafayette deparment store, Opera house, stock exchange and Grevin museum. Juste a great time during 24 hours !
The A Hotel
Filed under: 08th Arrondissement, Champs-Elysees quarter, Hotel Le A
What a refreshing experience to stay at The A Hotel. A small property on Rue d’Artois which provides the most amazing and attentive service we ever had in a Paris Hotel. All the staff were helpfull and trying to accomodate our every whims.
The place is beautiful, rooms are large and very functional as are the bathrooms. Art is everywhere and the general ambience is that of a home.
The location is a plus as well, just off the Champs Elysees, walking distance to quite a few Michelin stars restaurant and not far from a lot of good shopping.
Overall a great experience which I recommend to all visitors in Paris.

Le Bon Marché department store – Chic and Fashion
Filed under: 07th Arrondissement, Saint Germain Des Pres quarter, Shopping
Le Bon Marché standing on the left bank of Paris is not the most famous department store in Paris. Anyway, it is the one I prefer. Chic and fashionable, Le Bon Marché looks like an art Gallery in its splendid building. All the most known brands in fashion have a boutique here but not only. You can also discover more discreet ones offering chic and elegance.
I strongly suggest you to go there for your shopping in Paris. You will let me know what you think about Le Bon Marché. Note that you can also find boutiques all around Le Bon Marché. This area of the 7th district of Paris is really a great place for shopping.

The Wine Event (Salon du Vin) – Paris Espace Champerret
Filed under: 17th Arrondissement, Events and Exhibitions, Palais des Congres - Porte Maillot quarter
Last November, I advised you about the great opportunity to taste wines from whole France during a special event organized by independant growers. It happens twice a year in Paris.
Next time, it will take place from 25th to 28th of March 2011 at the Espace Champerret, on the west side of Paris, close to the Palais des Congres of Porte Maillot.
How does it work ? It’s so simple and friendly. You just need to pay 6 Euros to access the event. An empty glass (not for long) is given to you. You will keep it with you even when leaving the event. You walk through the aisles of the wine event and whenever you can see a wine that you would like to taste, you just need to ask and you are served directly by the grower himself.
Except tasting all kinds of wines (Be careful not to be drunk !) you will appreciate to discuss directly with growers and if you want, you can buy some bottles of wine. All wines you taste can be bought but at the end of the show, it happens that some wines are out of stock.
Where :
Espace Champerret (Paris 17th Arrondissement)
Metro Station “Porte de Champerret”
Bus lines : PC1, PC3, 84 and 92.
Parking extra charged
Access : 6 Euros per adult (Free for children less than 15 years old with an adult. No glass for children.)
Web site in French only : Salon du vin
Madeleine Church and Diseable people
Filed under: 08th Arrondissement, Madeleine Church, Opera House quarter
The Madeliene Church has gone to great expense and fanfare to make the church accessible to wheelchairs. Unfortunately, they overlooked the big step from the sidewalk up onto the church’s surrounding area. A simple ramp there would make the all the other improvements really pay off for handicap people on their own.

Chocolate bar at hotel du Cadran
Filed under: 07th Arrondissement, Du Cadran, Eiffel Tower quarter, Restaurants, Cafés, Pubs,...
I stayed at the Hotel du Cadran in the 7th district of Paris, close to the Eiffel tower in rue du Champ de Mars. I loved this hotel and would like to thank Carole who was so friendly and helpful.
Anyway, I just want to share with you something quite exceptional.
The hotel has a chocolate bar with all kinds of home made chocolates by a chocolate maker named Christophe Roussel. They also have macarrons and marshmallows.
I have tasted their peppermint chocolates and mint marshmallows. So great ! I eat them in the lounge with a hot chocolate and bought a box of mix to take back home.
