Comments on: PARIS IN JUNE! http://www.makesomething.ca/2009/04/02/paris-in-june/ making, learning & sharing a crafty life Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:27:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Le Mouton sauvage http://www.makesomething.ca/2009/04/02/paris-in-june/#comment-4824 Le Mouton sauvage Wed, 27 May 2009 12:58:17 +0000 http://makesomething.ca/?p=1493#comment-4824 You should absolutely visit some "passages" : covered streets built around the ends of the 19th century. They are used as shortcuts in between two main roads, and many of them have really beautiful old fashioned shops. My favorite one is the "Galerie Vivienne" : http://www.parisinconnu.com/passages/vivienn1.php "La Droguerie" is brilliant but I hate going to their main shop (rue du Jour) because it's always crowded. Instead I go to "Le Bon Marché" department store, where La Droguerie have a "corner". The shop assistants over there are really nice. And don't forget to write down your name on the list when you arrive in the shop (there's no proper waiting line) ! You could too visit chinatown ("quartier Belleville"), the Indian shops ("passage Brady"). And all the japanese shops are around the Pyramides metro station, not far from the Opera... Ok, I'll stop now !!! Have a nice time in Paris ! You should absolutely visit some “passages” : covered streets built around the ends of the 19th century.

I won't suggest what and where to eat- you will be in Paris, and cannot go wrong!! A few things to offer, though: please wear comfortable shoes, even if they are not chic. You will not realize how much walking you will do until your feet are screaming in protest. Also, remember to eat! Frequently! You will not realize how much walking you will do, and your stomach will forget to scream in protest because there is so much fabulousness to take in. I will recommend the Louvre to visit the Mona Lisa, of course. To stand in the same room and admire the most famous painting the world... well, it's weep-worthy. When I went with my sister, on our last day we took one of those scenic boat rides on the Seine, which was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. You will have a great time no matter where in Paris you go. Enjoy!! Super Exciting!!! I won’t suggest what and where to eat- you will be in Paris, and cannot go wrong!!

I have been several times, but lately I haven´t have the opportunity to go again. I have to special places there. One is Rodin museum, just near Les Invalides, where Napoleon is buried. It is a little pretty museum, where most of the scultures are outside in the garden, includying the famous "the thinker"...the place is not crowded and the garden invites to lost and discover diferent views. The othe one is Le Marais, it is a part of Paris, full of design shops, independient shops, coffes and a not very touristic ambient. Good to get lost. And River Gauche. Enjoy!!! Ibabe I love Paris.

I have been reading your blog for quite a time now and it's like you're coming to visit me ! Speaking of macarons you have to try the famed Pierre Hermé ones, my favorite is the white truffle one (just to die for), you must also try the chocolate ones if you are into chocolate. For the fruity flavors I prefer Gerard Mulot (rue de Seine in the 6th). Arrgh, now I am hungry ! If you need a guide, an interpreter or anything else in Paris, I'll be glad to help you, you have my email ! I am glad for you that you are coming to Paris !
