      Paris - ein Abend in Marais

      July 30, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Nachdem wir entschieden haben, nicht in die Hauptstadt mit dem Womo zu fahren um dort zu nächtigen, stehen wir nun auf dem Stellplatz am Disneyland ca. 1 Zugstunde außerhalb von Paris. Für einen kurzen Abstecher mussten wir aber trotzdem schon mal Parisluft schnuppern und so fuhren wir ins Stadtteil Marais. Unterwegs trafen wir noch ein paar Altenburger: Meli und Leni … zurück am Stellplatz: 0:50 Uhr 🥱 Guts NächtleRead more

      Paris

      July 23, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

      We visited the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont (St Stephen of the Mountain) and the Panthéon (designed initially as a church to honour Saint Geneviève, the patron of Paris). Next, we went to Holy Mass at the Irish College and walked to Notre Dame to see the outside and have lunch. We finished the day with a mini river cruise on the Seine past the Eiffel Tower.Read more

      Latinska četrt

      September 5, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Medtem ko se Nastja vpisuje na fakulteto, mi raziskujemo Latinsko četrt, ki bo njeno okolje za naslednjih 9 mesecev. Pantheon je izjemna stavba, najbolj nepričakovan pa je sistem katakomb pod celotno stavbo. Tu imajo zadnje počivališče pomembni in vplivni Francozi... Od Emila Zola do Marie Curie.
      Okoli Pantheona pa luštne uličice in čudovit Luksemburški park.      Read more

      La Table de Colette

      September 16, 2022 in France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      We had planned to have lunch at MUMI today - I had done some research on good Parisian restaurants and MUMI had ticked all the boxes, including consistently excellent reviews. However, a couple of days ago I received an email from them saying that they had to cancel our booking as they had had a fire in the kitchen and had to close for several weeks - bummer!

      Luckily, I had kept my notes for a number of restaurants I had researched and La Table de Colette was second on my list and we were able to secure a table for lunch. And, what a lunch it was. The staff, the ambiance, the wine and the food were all top notch. The staff have a real pride in what they create and love to see the joy the customers experience when eating their food.

      There isn’t a menu - you just decide if you are having 3, 5 or 7 courses and if you want the matching wines. We went for 3 courses and Ian chose the wine. You start off with an amuse bouche, which was three wonderful morsels that were each divine - oyster leaf on a rice cracker with a scallion mayonnaise, a small piece of fish, again with a divine sauce, on a delicate cracker and finally roasted and dried beetroot with an horseradish cream.

      Ian selected the wine which was fabulous, a 2017 Grand Cru Gewurztraminer from Alsace by François SCHMITT which went perfectly with the meal.

      First course was a green tomato served with gazpacho and stuffed with deep fried pearl cous cous and other stuff - divine. Second course was zucchini served two ways with a deep fried oyster and an amazingly intense sauce - Ian had his first oyster which he appeared to enjoy. Third course was an ode to Chocolate, a cremaux, a crumb, a sauce, a crisp and more, so much more. The dessert was divine. In fact the whole meal was one I have to rate in my top five food experiences. We also had the best coffee we have had so far in Paris and it was served with delicious petite fours.

      After lunch I ventured to the open kitchen to congratulate the young team of talented chefs and got a tour of the kitchen - very memorable indeed.      Read more

      Tour de France @Paris part deux 😜

      July 30, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Nochmal kurz quer durch Paris, um letzte Souvenirs zu kaufen, den Louvre, die Champs-Elysees, den Toure Eiffel und vieles mehr zu verabschieden, letzte Fotos zu machen und den Füßen zu zeigen wo das Tageslimit ist 😂😂😂

      Von der Piratenflagge am Boot inspiriert, musste dann auch noch passend im Weingummiladen aus Fässern genascht werden...und auch der letzte Einkauf war ein kleiner Schatz. 😉

      Und nach einem letzten Café dann ab zum nächsten Ziel - 4:20min bis Luxembourg - bonne voyage!✌️!      Read more

      In a Paris cafe eating onion soup!

      August 18, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      So thankful to arrive at Charles De Gaulle at 3.00PM. Baggage took a while. Our transfer taxi was lovely.

      Overcast and a humid 23 degrees in Paris today. Our hotel is Le M Saint Germain.
      The room is perfect and the first thing I see is a balcony, my favourite thing in any hotel. I step out amongst the zinc roofs and look out onto those fabulous sandstone buildings. Am very thankful. Paris is gorgeous.

      Athena spies a lovely gift from Amanda (our travel agent, such a blessing, go see her at Berwick Travel) Colourful French macaroons. They were great with a tea, thanks Amanda.

      After a much needed shower and mobile charge, we head out for a stroll towards the Seine.

      I spy the Pantheon at the end of our street so we head up that way. I discover we are walking the wrong direction, whoops 🤭 The Notre Dame is the other way!! We stroll past beautiful cafes full of diners and head back for the river. The streets are full of tourists.
      The Notre Dame is closed off and we see the fire damage and works being done. Grateful that we had both already visited inside four years ago. We were shocked when we heard the news.

      We walk up to Saint Chappel church and Athena looks longingly at a beautiful restaurant. So, we take a table, order onion soup and a 'chardy' and settle in.
      Half way through dinner, I realise that, this is it! Sitting outside a beautiful Paris cafe, watching people walk by, drinking wine with my beautiful friend! This was my absolute wish for my birthday.
      Dream big I say, with some effort, they come true!      Read more

      Paris - Citroen 2CV Tour

      June 8, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      After arriving in Paris and checking in to our hotel, we were picked up for a Paris sightseeing tour - in an original 1960 Citroen 2CV - and not just any Citroen 2CV - it was the one used in the 1981 James Bond movie, 'For Your Eyes Only', starring Roger Moore, which was a real bonus.

      Our driver, Nicholas, drove us around the major sites and showed us how to negotiate the Paris traffic. All the stories you hear about it are true. Cars going everywhere and all over the place. It would be a brave tourist to tackle these streets.

      After two hours with Nicholas and the 2CV, we were taken back to the hotel, where to celebrate our first day in France, we had French Chablis and then some pastries for dessert.      Read more

      Salut Paris

      August 8, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Wir sagen salut Paris, wir kommen wieder.
      Viel haben wir gesehen, unsere to do Liste erfüllt, aber längst nicht alles gesehen.
      Paris ist so viel mehr, als der Eiffelturm und Versailles.
      Das Pariser Flair haben wir nur ansatzweise gefühlt. Dafür gibt es so viel zu sehen. Wir fuhren mit dem Bus und der Metro, sind viel gelaufen teilweise über 20.000 Schritte.
      Es war schön, wir haben uns wohlgefühlt - Berliner in der Großstadt Paris.😉
      Nun nehmen wir Abschied, die Wege trennen sich. Ella und Benni fahren weiter nach Mailand und uns führt es in die Normandie.

      City of Light (Part I)

      August 30, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Part I: On our first full day in Paris, we started with a fresh yogurt, fruit, and granola breakfast drizzled with honey we had saved from Aunty Jane's hives back in London. Delicious! Well-fueled, we began a big day by walking on Île Saint-Louis, one of the two natural islands in Paris along the Seine. I had listened to a few episodes of the "Earful Tower" podcast in which the host recommended a walking route down the centre of Île Saint-Louis, which turned out to be a great suggestion. We first stopped at Noir, a café with a spiral staircase leading down to a cave cellar, and wandered past boutiques, bars, and 17th-century architecture. One of the old buildings there had been converted from what was a royal tennis or 'jeu de paume' court built under Louis XIII (the King who defended France against the Habsburgs) into a hotel. Interestingly, the island used to be split down the middle where we were walking as two islands, but these were merged, by Louis XIII's father, to create a new district.

      From here, we walked along the Seine and into Le Marais, the 4th arrondissement, to enjoy the beautiful parks and art galleries. I thought about how Mum always described how 'the light felt different in Paris,' and I now agreed after seeing all the light-colored pathways, bridges, and buildings that reflected the sun so prettily. I agree with Mom now; Paris is very beautiful in the sun!

      After days of eating mostly different forms of bread and cheese (no complaints), we were once again craving some Asian food and found a place with decent lunch deals and rice, praise be! Returning immediately to Catholic France, we headed next door to the Parish Church of Saint-Paul of Saint-Louis. Highly adorned, with sculpture, painting, and stained-glass that let a lot of light into the church. There was also a really amazing large seashell, merged into the wall, being used as a holy water font that I loved.

      From here, we wandered through more streets and parks in the sun, which worked up a bit of sweat, so we took the tram back to refresh at the Airbnb before heading out again for the evening. A long 'picnic bar crawl' was planned, where we were going to pick up picnic bites from different boulangeries and charcutiers, ending at the Eiffel Tower for a picnic dinner...      Read more
