Paris Diary - Day 3



19.11.2011

Good morning sunny Paris! Oh yes, the clouds were gone and the sun was shining again. The weather was perfect and I was ready to breath the air of Paris and wander around its most famous streets: Avenue des Champs Elysees, Avenue Montaigne, Rue de Saint Honore, Place Vendome...

The truth is that I wasn't in the mood for shopping (no, I wasn't feeling sick)...all I  really wanted was to walk the parisian streets feeling carefree! The only thing I had been longing to buy was a gray fur coat...I entered many boutiques but nothing seemed to satisfy me..After many hours of window shopping I found something worth investing my money in: A new pair of blue ,elegant Lanvin! The last 38 was waiting to be mine!

Lunch at  L' avenue! This place was amazing...I have never seen before so many good looking and elegant people gathered at one place! Sitting once again at the outdoor tables ( unfortunately I am a smoker) ,I felt like having front row seats at a Chanel fashion show. The entrance had "turned" into a catwalk and all kinds of bags (especially Chanel and Hermes), shoes, fur coats and other fashion elements were "striding" in front of me!

After a walk at Saint Germain I returned to my room. My feet were killing me and I needed some time to rest! 

Dinner at Costes!

P.S Be careful...don't do the same mistake I did!!!! L' avenue, Costes, and La Societe have EXACTLY the same menu (same owner). I had to choose courses from the same menu 3 times in a row!!! But in any case, I surely enjoyed it!

Paris Diary - Day 2

      18.11.2011

Breakfast in bed! One of the things I enjoy the most when I travel, is the magic button at the hotel rooms that connects you to Room Service!


Batteries recharged! I was ready to explore Centre Pompidou, the most spectacular 20th century building in Paris.I went on a tour of the French National Museum of Modern Art, which is the largest museum of modern art in Europe. I was lucky, because an exhibition of Edvard Munch took place at the top floor! I had the chance to admire a  collection ,never-seen-before in Paris, which exhibited around eighty paintings, thirty artworks done in paper, fifty photographs and a film.
(September 21, 2011- January 23, 2012)


After my educational visit I walked at Le Marais, a historic district in Paris which has become fashionable and you can find  many trendy restaurants, fashion houses and hype galleries. 

Hungry again! Being already at Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris! I had a quick lunch at Ma Bourgogne, a parisian bistro, which is the heart and soul of the whole neighborhood. There are several tables at the open terraces, situated under the arcades, so you can have your meal while gazing at the gardens! The heating parasols and a glass of white wine kept me warm !



Next destination: La Maison de Victor Hugo, a museum operated by the city of Paris and preserves the house that Victor Hugo lived in for 16 years. 


Back to the hotel for a power nap!!! La Societe, a hip restaurant in Paris, was waiting for us!


Enjoy the photos!
