EVERYTHING BUT THE CLOTHES!

Thank you for the email asking me my favourite places to visit in PARIS. In no particular order, they are:

LE PROCOPE, 13 rue de l'Ancienne Comedie. A very old, quaint and wordly cafe.

LE BISTROT du PEINTURE, 116 Avenue Ledru-Rollin, Art Nouveau Design with Exquisite food to match.

PISCINE PONTOISE, 15 rue de Pontoise, A Public Art Deco Swimming Pool.

LE REFECTOIRE, 80 Boulevard Richard Lenoir, 11e, Sophisticated Food and A lovely set Breakfast.

GAYA, 44 rue du Bac, 7e, Simply, a Fish restaurant!

PATRICK SEGUIN, 5 rue des Taillandiers, 11e, Furniture from some of France's most important mid-century architects and designers.

ASSOULINE, 35 rue Bonaparte, 6e, The titles on display in this bookshop are devoted to Art and Design.

L'Appartement 217, 217 rue Saint-Honore', 1e, Ex Manager of Colette, now owns and runs this pristine and wholly organic spa. Dr Hauschka Facial is Awesome!

KUBE, 1-5 passage Ruelle, 18e, Think 'Bed & Bar' as apposed to 'Bed & Breakfast'.

3 ROOMS, 5 rue de Moussy, 4e, Carla Sozzani & Azzedine Alaia collaborated on this Hotel that consists of 3 Apartments ONLY!

Place des Vosges, A truly elegant square in the Marais, where you can sit on the grass, and it's not too far from....

Rue des Francs Bourgeois, 4e, A bustling street filled with Cafes, Shops and Museums.

There are too many Clothes Stores to mention and you won't have a problem finding them. If you head to Montmatre (and you should), locate the Cafe from 'Amelie' and have one of the best caffe cremes...EVER! Although the cute elfin waitress has been replaced by a gaggle of mature aged men with more hair in their ears then on their head, the coffee is worth the trek.

s'amuser!
