Paris – Part 2

On the second time around we visited Paris,
we did not rush to see all the attractions, instead we wanted to experience the city like the local people do.
We stayed in the Marais. It’s a historic district area in Paris between the 3rd and the 4th arrondissments. It reminded me the Greenwich Village in NYC with all the quaint art galleries, cute little boutiques, eclectic fashion, unique jewelry, antiques and fine arts and delicious side street café and restaurants.

We stayed at the Les Jardins du Marais. This was a wonderful, trendy hotel conveniently located in the middle of everything and walking distance to all our favorite places.
The hotel is close to Place de la Bastille and it’s within walking distance to the famous Place des Vosges. It also boasts an Art Deco inspired lobby, leading into a charming glass roof atrium housing a restaurant and an opening onto impressive interior private gardens. This property provided a unique setting for a truly enjoyable stay in Paris. The hotel was 10 minutes walk from one of my favorite streets in Paris – Rue De Rivoli,
It’s one of the famous streets in Paris. Shops along include the most famous names in the world. One of my favorite is L’olivier, a wonderful store that sells the best Olive Oil in the world. This great road runs along the north wing of the Louvre Museum. We enjoyed walking up and down along this marvelous road and watched as the ambiance changes every few blocks and so was the scenery. I can never resist the temptation to stop by a patisserie and get a lovely Café Au Let and a mouth watering pastry. It doest’t get better than this.

We also visited a wonderful street market – The Bastille Food Market. It's right near our hotel in the Marais, It has fresh produce, seafood, baked good and prepared foods. The market was bursting with fragrance and color.
All I feft like doing after the visit to the market was to cook up a storm...
These were some of the wonderful things we got to experience, some attractions, delicious
foods, colorful markets, wine, art and long strolls along the avenues.
