Usually I prefer to write about restaurants in Paris that are good, or unique, but not that well-known. This time I thought I would write about some famous restaurants I’ve tried and as the title of this post says, won’t break the bank! Some are cheaper, others are more expensive, but none are like L’ Arpège, […]
Who wouldn’t want to have a four star French chef in their kitchen everyday of the week cooking for them? Well, if you’re not as lucky as I am, you can always go to the Carrousel du Louvre for the Salon Cuisinez!
There you’ll find everything you’ll ever want to know about cooking from top chefs […]
Are you looking for that perfect gift for someone’s birthday or anniversary? Or maybe the “kitschy” gifts I spoke about finding on the Rue Mouffetard just isn’t what you’re looking for. Well then, whether you live in Paris, or happen to have family or friends visiting, wine & cheese tasting makes a great gift!
If you know nothing about […]
The Rue Mouffetard, which Parisians call “La Mouffe” has been written about and immortalized in poems and songs. It is afterall one of the oldest streets in Paris, with homes dating back to the Middle Ages, but for me it’s a great little street to hang out in for a good part of a day […]
September with a hint of autumn in the air. I love strolling along the Seine stopping every now and again to see if I can find a rare gem among the used books being sold by those ever present booksellers in Paris called les bouquinistes.
After hundreds of years of controversy, they finally became a permanent […]
The problem with a lot of restaurants is that you may go one time and have a great experience and then you go again some time later and you’re disappointed. The reasons may vary in so many ways; from the restaurant being sold and you have new owners, to the chef leaving and taking all his great […]
You might not know his work by name, but you’ve surely seen some of his most famous paintings. Arcimboldo was well ahead of his time to be the first modern painter hundreds of years before Picasso and the father of surrealism centuries before Salvador Dali.
Well there’s great news for everyone who loves this XVI century […]
Wondering what to do with the kids while it seems all of Paris is asleep? Okay, not asleep, but gone off for the summer holidays….then the Fête des Tuileries is just the place to go!
This carnival atmosphere that has taken place every summer for more than twenty years at the Jardin des Tuileries will continue until […]
….and now you do again! It’s like a magical ferris wheel doing a disappearing and reappearing act these past few years! The big wheel as many call it was built for the millennium celebrations in 1999 and was suppose to stay at the Place de la Concorde for only a year. That one year turned […]
The first time that I dined at this famous restaurant, I was invited by a French writer which made it all the more interesting to say the least. At the time, I was a young girl trying steak tartare for the first time in my life, sipping champagne on the terrace, and not really aware […]
