Bonne Année

 With only a few posts under my belt, it is hard to look back over the year as to what the Paris Traveler has been.  Lynn, the previous author, has moved on to fulfill some of her hopes and dreams and I wish her well.

Fetes des Rois

I know that we still have New Year’s to get through, but I thought I would let you in on the next celebration that the French enjoy every year.  Actually, the French need no specific reason to celebrate other than it is a new day but this particular event has a much loved ritual attached […]

Louis Vuitton Champs Elysées

Yesterday’s post took you to lunch on the Champs Elysée.  Hopefully that went well for you and now you are ready to walk off some of your delicious lunch and continue taking in the sights. 
Today, we are going to walk a few blocks towards Concord (the big ferris wheel should be straight ahead) and […]

Publicis Drugstore

 
Lunch in a drugstore?  In one of the food capitals of the world?
  Yes, and it is one of the most fun seats in the house (city) for people watching.   Publicis Drugstore is located at the far end of the Champs Elysee near the Arc de Triomphe and on most days there’s plenty of people and bustle […]

Ducasse’s Domaine

 Clearly a master of the universe where cuisine is concerned, Alain Ducasse can add the Eiffel Tower to a long list of locations that bear his stamp of culinary artistry.  
On Saturday, he launched the refurbished Jules Verne restaurant, located in the second level of The Eiffel Tower. Long a tradition for both Parisiens and […]

Haute Christmas

 
     Staying true to being the world’s fashion capital, the holiday season can’t pass without a little Parisian glamour thrown at it for good measure.
      Each Christmas, the fashion and design world’s most creative individuals craft their own version of les sapins de Noël….or as we refer to them, Christmas trees.  When you […]

Vin Chaud and Nougat

   You will hear much about wine throughout this blog because…. quite simply, I love it.  All shapes and sizes, reds, whites, bubbly.  Even warm wine or as the French call it–vin chaud.
