Two Weeks from Today!
Saturday May 4, 2013
Two weeks from today, I will be roaming the streets of Paris. Springtime in Paris: if that's not a pleasant thought, I'm not sure what is.
Paris, here I come!
Leaving little Oscar behind in my husband's care always manages to stress me out...especially when I arrive home after work to find a stove burner full on, waiting for its pot. But there is no pot and there is no husband, just Oscar and a nice red flame: another narrow escape from potential disaster. Honestly!
It will be very busy this time around. There will be lots of running around and exploring to do. I will be staying in new hotels, discovering areas I should have long ago, such as Canal Saint-Martin, catching exhibits, specifically The Mexican Suitcase at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme and the Haute Couture at Paris Hôtel de Ville, and finally trying out Chez l'Ami Jean – a restaurant I have been meaning to get to for ages.
I will sit on a book bench in Square Gabriel Pierné, stroll through the winding streets of Montmartre and break the bank at Le Bon Marché. And by "break the bank," I mean window shop.
What I am definitely most excited about is my line-up of hotels!
The très modern and chic Mandarin Oriental, situated on my favourite shopping street, rue Saint-Honoré...
...a newly restored Prince de Galles located on the ever-so elegant Avenue George V...
...Hotel Lancaster with its charming, lush terrace...
...and the brand-new boutique hotel, Marquis Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
I cannot say which I prefer… at least not yet; however, I am looking forward to all of them!
Expect a full account on my return and see which establishments and suggestions make it to the website!
Au revoir!
