5 etoiles de Paris

Comfortably housed in that famous green chair, legs outstretched and with a book in hand, overlooking the Jardin de Luxembourg Fountain ... I would spend my retirement there. Before that, it would be worth experiencing some romantic moments, in the early Sunday morning. The sound of the splashing water, the rotting ducks, all framed by rustic jardin and ivy frames ... An oasis of loveliness, peace and a slice of paradise that leads you to another time. Here you are a "pure aristocracy", a court lady who went out to breathe a little into nature and be alone with her thoughts.

If I had to get lost somewhere, then it would be Musee Rodin with his beautiful garden. That's where I happened to be one of the early October mornings before the tourists arrived, so my company made only fascinating sculptures.

The monumental building, with its characteristic high windows (and the light seems to pass through them differently to make it as beautiful as possible for that famous couple of lovers), is set in the middle of a large courtyard dominated by domed fir trees overseen by the Thinker. This place is peace in its highest sense; it is a privilege to be so close to the works of Augustine Rodin, expressive, powerful ... As much as at times these bronze and stone seem a little rough, they still display the finest emotions. Honetement, it's ideal to go there alone. It would be a shame if anything gets your attention with all that beauty. Everything here is a "golden cross-section".

Saint Germain des Pres - I just love getting lost among the streets of this neighborhood. But I really lose it! I don't mind bouncing around the corner a hundred times and spinning in a circle. It was just like that (I'm very smart so I won't ask anyone) to look for my little chic jungle - Maison Sauvage Restaurant. Everything is cliche, but the pink wisteria that runs down the building, and covers the awning, makes it by far the most painted. There is no place here at lunchtime, but with the charming waiters, it will make every effort to wait as little as possible for your roundtable. They say "Thank you" and "How are you" in all languages of the world. Ideal place to drink "La petite robe rose" in the middle of the day. Then you can buy some coffee table books across the Assouline Bookstore.

If I'm not in a hurry to get home, so I have time to own a little, then you can see me on the bench in front of me the most beautiful building in Paris - Hotel de Ville. That's where I collect my impressions before getting off the subway, since I was at the BHV Marais department store, across the street.

I am always fascinated by brightly decorated windows, no matter the season; a great mix of home details, clothing, accessories. I know I stand in front for quite a while and soak up the inspiration. This shopping paradise has that youthful vibe - action, take-offs, new brands, "stunning" details and some cool atmosphere, so you can wander for hours and feel like you're having a party. A great selection of books in the field of art and accessories for drawing and painting is the reason plus that I end every walk around Paris here. Like, it got away from the rain ...

Finally - my first Parisian love - Fauchon, a cafe & patisserie, whose phenomenal treats are in charge of Francois Daubinet. I remember my first arrival in the city of light upon entering this chic place, in black and white with pink details. The characteristic letter F is taaako fashion. Here you have to try a cake shaped like a lip! First kiss in Paris ☺. Recently, there is also the Fauchon Hotel, which you cannot fail because it has a pink awning and inside ... a barbecue house where Auntie is the editor-in-chief of Vogue.

And as I walk along my Parisian boulevards, I sing "Tombe" by Matt Pokora, a big star here. And the spot is ... totally Paris! Amoureuse! Et, and bientot.
