Good Eats: Le Pub St. Germain

 
A few steps from Métro Odeon, where you find yourself near a Starbucks, numerous movie theatres and crazy activity involving students from the Sorbonne, is a restaurant that is one of those where no matter what time of day it is, you can stop in and get a meal that is going to make everyone […]

Sabrage: Think Twice Before Trying This In Your Own Home

 Champagne:  love it as much as I love wine.  Pink or white, I am a fan of both as long as it’s chilled and bubbly! It is the quintessential definition of celebration.   Over the next few weeks, there are many happy reasons for my family to be popping the corks on bottles as we toast […]

Chez Julien

 This is Rue des Barres, a cobble stoned pedestrian street in the 4th arrondisement that backs up to Eglise Saint Gervais, one of the oldest churches in Paris, being mentioned as far back as the 4th century.  It was formerly seat to the powerful brotherhood of wine merchants–yeah for those wine merchants.  The street is […]

Hôtel Le Bristol: High Tea and Haute Couture

Hôtel Le Bristol, on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, is one of a handful of magnificent five star hotels in Paris that cater to a clientele of which I am not a member.  One or two drinks in the bar and then it’s back to my humble three star abode for the night.  I do, […]

List Worthiness: Le Procope

 In my ongoing quest to get through Mireille Guiliano’s Top 20 To Dos  in The City of Lights I take us to to-do #7, “enjoy the towering plateau de fruits de mer seafood platter at Le Procope”.  Hmm…it is here that the two of us part ways.

Café du Marché

 This was my local watering hole for the year that I spent in Paris, Café du Marché, located on the corner of Rue Cler and Rue du Champ de Mars in the 7th arr.  It is nothing much to write home about but was and remains very popular with the locals.  The food is simple, consistently good […]

Pink Eggs Are Expensive

This is very weird.  Have you ever been on line looking for something and you get caught up with something else on the page, a link, that takes you to another page, and another and before you know it you are 20 clicks away from where you started,  finding yourself on a Swiss lighting website […]

List Worthiness: Galerie Vivienne

Yesterday I posted the Top 20 To Do List in the City of Lights according to Miriele Gilianio, author of French Women For All Seasons and Why French Women Don’t Get Fat.  I have personally taken advantage of all the sites she has proposed and I think it is only fair to give you some additional […]
