Du Pain at des Idées and a last stroll in Paris...

This bakery was a nice discovery for us during this trip. We loved all it had to offer from our first visit so fella requested that we had to have some for our last morning before we took off once more - I didn't complain! It was a nice easy walk and a great start to what was about to be a busy day. Safe to say, we had very good viennoiseries this trip (an important task in all of our trips to paris😅) and we will definitely keep coming here if we should ever be back in this lovely city!

Oh and by the way, the 10th district is the place to stay!!! Loved everything about the area we stayed in...hardly any tourists yet close to the major sight (or at least transportation), and the selection of where locals eat, drink and shop around our flat was in abundance! It really felt like we were living like Parisians...#LifeGoal 😘Meer informatie

What a nice way to end our trip here with a dinner at this spot! This was a lovely yet cool place just below our flat. We were just planning on drinking some hot chocolate and figure out another dinner spot but out of laziness, we stuck around. Glad we did because it was a very delicious meal enjoyed by the two of us! The place had a warm minimalist design (exposed walls, neutral furnishings and great wood tones all throughout) - it almost reminded me of something in Vancouver - which means we're doing something right in our city - just not with Vancouver pricing 😅 and the 2-hour seating limit.Meer informatie

Always wanted to go back here after our first trip in 2012. Due to time restraints, we were only able to see the church and little of its surroundings. Third time's the charm as we finally went and explored more of the streets of its neighbourhood all while it snowed. Once again, we were probably the only ones happy to have seen it with the specks of magic 😍.Meer informatie

I love street art! If I wasn't hungry all the time I'd likely be spending a good chunk of my time walking around the city and snapping and learning about the different pieces I see.

Paris had some great ones during our strolls and I always wish we had more time devoted to just finding even more of them...Meer informatie

Traiteur Morocain dans Marché des Enfants Rouges:

This was simply delicious and filling! We first went around the market to scope out the selection but this place had the longest line so it didn't take long to be convinced - plus it smelled good and the offerings were varied. We appreciated that it had lots of (albeit cozy) covered and warm seating available to enjoy the meal. Once we were given the spot inside the "tent" all we had to do was eat confortably and happily! It was a quick meal but a good one at that!Meer informatie

When at PBC yesterday, it was recommended we go here. Hoppy Corner was surprising close to where we first stayed in Paris, 6 years ago. SEE and I shared 2 flights.

Flight 1
Monstruous Fat Pig Stout (Mexican cake edition)
865 CC
Bigorre
Nice To Meet Yiu
A L'Ouest

Flight 2
Agent Provocateur
Sourdough
Mind The Gap
Common Grounds
Neudorf

(Description in pics)

Unlike yesterday, SEE took part in drinking. Which turned into drawing Owl Art and some general silliness.

Hops in Paris are completely different (as expected). They seem to be naturally sweeter and much less bitter, while producing beer that is just as fragrant and tasty.Meer informatie

Hoppy Corner

From yesterday's discovery (Paname Brewing Co.) We were recommended to check out this spot as we were somewhat close to it. Glad we took the advice as we had such a fun time together...though I think I enjoyed more as I indulged creatively😅😘! Highly recommended spot for craft beer connoisseurs...it's all about quality and flavour! I officially like IPA ...in France!

Grateful for the fella who made sure my inebriated self did not fall flat on my face as we walked through the streets of paris especially on a wet and slippery day😅.

PS. Just as I found pbc yesterday...I want full credit for this place too 😘!Meer informatie

5 pailles: Just happened to stumble upon this coffee corner in our neighborhood and so glad we found it for a very late brunch (if that's even a thing😅). great vibe, design and the food was fresh too!

Bouillon de Chartier: recommended by our host as we explored the passages. 19th c. design brasserie which initially confused the hell out of us. It had a very long line up (40 minute wait) and served vin chair for your waiting pleasure 😒 but the food and overall experience made it worth it. It was both with tourist but also frenchies so it legitimized it😘! The food was actually very good but it was very un-fancy-french...Chris described it as cafeteria-like...but again, very good food! I will actually recommend it to people who've been here several times and aren't too hell-bent about Michelin starred restaurants...but just simply experiencing good old Parisian food!Meer informatie

Discovered some of Paris's covered passages today because it was snowing. These are great to just stroll through and enjoy a little window shopping. My nieces would very much enjoy Passage Jouffroy.

Also saw some real Hogwarts like shit. Some kind of taxidermied dog/coyote with bird of prey wings. Somehow seemed to fit in.Meer informatie

We had a very, very late start to the day (jetlag and vacation mode getting the best of us 😅 - first world problems, I know), but we still managed to experince and explore new things in this city, yet again! It was raining buckets which then turned into snow and it seemed that Chris and I were the only ones excited about this - we were taking pictures/videos like it was the first time we've seen it! Seeing snow in Paris (even though it didnt stick) is beautiful😍. To avoid getting soaked completely and from the lovely advice of our host, we explored the passage couverts de paris! Don't know why we never thought to explore the different passages which are filled with varying shops and restaurants - actually, never thought it was a must see attraction! It was a neat rainy day activity - truly a must to explore! We explored about 5 of them and I wished money was not an option 'cause souvenirs galore😅...my favourite were th book- and antique stores...Meer informatie

Because food is also our thing...what we've grubbed within the past 2 days...

L'as du Falafel:
-roasted aubergine with tahini and tomato salad
-lamb pita sandwich 😋 (jealous that he got this😅)
-falafel with aubergine pita sandwich (😋 had it for the first time 2015 and I was so looking forward to this

Du Pain et des Idees: small but beautiful and offered delicious viennoisseries 😋. We decided to pack it away and enjoyed it at a nearby park!

Paname Brewing Co.: such a great find and actually had great selection!

Chez Jeannette:
-cheesy potato croquette: after two bites, it was too rich (I know, woe is me...)...when in Paris I guess
-mini creamy pesto ravioli
-salade exotique: salmon lox, shrimp, mango, papaya, and mixed green salad with a generous dallop of a creamy dressing...it was almost a hodge-podge of ingredients but surprisingly was delicious!Meer informatie

16 maart 2018, Frankrijk ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
On the recommendation of our host (along with other sources) we did a walking tour of the Père Lachaise Cemetery. I thought it would be a good place to do my first guided audio tour by Rick Steves. I'm not cultured enough to recognize all the people who he mentioned have ended up here, but Chopin, Oscar Wilde, and Jim Morrison I do know. It was such a nice walk through a part of Paris I think people just skip because it's either too far from other tourist things or they think a cemetery is creepy. The memorials about French airlines crashes and WW2 losses were what spoke to me. Seeing the Mauthaussen Memorial took me back to walking through that concentration camp.

When being jetlagged works to your advantage..

Woke up very early today and ended up seeing a beautiful sunrise! I don't know if my lack of sleep clouded my brain but I was in such awe of how much it just beautified the rooftops😍...and seriously, sunrise in paris!?! Once we finally got going we decided to get some viennoiseries for breakfast and enjoyed it near a park near the canal st. martin - cause you just have to! Also, noticed a few blooms already - didn't think I was gonna see cherry blossoms this year so this was a good surprise...hoping it completely blooms within the next 2 days🤞🏼😅🤞🏼. Then the fella wanted to go to the Pere Lachaise cemetery - wasn't really my thing but it's his trip too, I guess😅😘! I do admit, it was peaceful and it made for a nice easy workout for me😘.

In my researching for what to do for the day, I found a brewery/pub to try and since we liked beer it worked out quite well! The location of the brew pub was fantastic as it had a view of the Bassin de la Villette - and of course, we stayed a while enjoying everything that that sight offered!

I'm/We're really excited about exploring new areas (10th,19th districts) and weaving our way in and out of this side of Paris. It was nice to see a glimpse of how people simply live and enjoy their neighbourhood. Highly recommend visiting and staying this side of town especially if you've got the touristy stuff out of your system!Meer informatie

Once we finally had the energy to get up and go, the only thing we planned on for our first evening was to walk towards food😅 (pics to follow). It poured along our walk towards the 3rd district. It was nice that it rained cause it was familiar (and thank goodness we found an umbrella) and people around were unphased - still looking that Parisian fabulousness!

Our 3rd time here and it still never ceases with its charms - and I still haven't even had a fancy croissant yet to persuade my decision! We are staying in the 10th district, one we've never explored before and I gotta say, it's filled with colourful life, sounds, smells...I'm excited about this! Our host was lovely - offering different suggestions on how the locals enjoy Paris and our goal is to live even a glimpse of that in the short time we are here. Thank goodness we got the Eiffel tower, louvre, etc. out of the way already because often the best trips we've had always involved exploring how the locals live! Here's just a few shots of our place because I appreciate a beautiful space when I see it! Travelling makes me realize that you really don't need to have 1000++ sq ft in order to live a good life...need to hone on this when we go home...Meer informatie
