Dreaming of Paris, the places we will definitely go to when we go again
We know... This site is already quite filled with Paris-tips. We can't do anything about that because Oh oh Paris! You are so nice, handsome, tasty, beautiful, at home in all markets and also close by. Ha! You will find jewels from boutique hotels there, the most cozy ones small terraces, the most beautiful (vintage) shops and the very best restaurants and cafes you can admire. Paris has it all.
Excusez-moi monsieur et madam, Here's a great list of all must visit addresses for your weekend, midweek, aboutever getaway in the French capital, Paris. Because it is clear that it will come again.
Sometimes there are places where you want to put everything you see in your suitcase and take it with you for your own home. Instant copy paste. Topic of conversation? The brand new Hotel Les Deux Gares. So we are suffering from this quite a bit – in a positive way. That's it in the beautiful old building, completely renovated and furnished by an English interior designer Luke Edward Hall. That combination is quite a one match made in heaven. Print on print on print. Stripes, floral motif and – because why not – a wild animals on the wall. Everything cleverly and beautifully crammed into one historic building. And yet, everything fits. The dream.
The rooms are colorful and cheerful (we simply describe them as vintage with a big wink). And that wink in particular is why we would rather arrive today than tomorrow. English chic combined with French soul. And you would almost forget: even nice beds. You know, those hotel beds you sleep in come want/need to jump on. Ha!
Create a picture-perfect location in Paris where you can also enjoy delicious food. She describes herself as a Café et restaurant Méditerranéen. You're welcome here all day long, breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner. In the middle of the shop there is a handsome bar with nice stools where you start with a nice drink and then you sit at one of the nice tables in the shop. On the menu you will find as many organic, local, fresh products as possible, we like. Good classics such as burrata, ceviche and chicken supreme. Normally we don't order pizza so quickly during a night out in the French capital The Riviera they are known for it so we had to. We secretly shared a pizza with each other before we officially started dinner, shhh don't tell anyone, ha. Okay, no exaggeration, this pizza may be the tastiest we have ever tasted. A pizza with homemade tomato sauce, marinated octopus, mozzarella milk cream, parsley and lemon peel for 18 euros, well, we can't say anything about that. Add a good glass of wine, and then the Riviera lemon tart. Good morning.
For a morning coffee in Paris with a croissant we go to Le Terasse Madame. From breakfast to dinner afternoon tea it is always a good time to stay here. Nice after a walk in the park, after a cultural morning at the Luxembourg Museum, or after a visit to Saint Germain des Prés (you know the district with the sheik shops, restaurants and the medieval church Église). A nice terrace with nice chairs, tables, you know the nice French ones swing, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, under the trees, with a lovely view.
Our Hoxton friends understand well that you have a winning team never have to change-and, and that didn't happen: the good thing hipster cool The Hoxton The atmosphere that created a sensation for the club was once again implemented to perfection. In other words: perhaps it was done even better with beautiful shades of blue and pink in the rooms (we haven't seen that before in the Hoxtonnettes) and lots of ocher yellow. And there is floral wallpaper, the good way. The latter can mainly be found in cocktail bars Jacques. Appropriate name. We like it.
The Jacques is immediately your best friend, you will find the nicest places (and most photogenic corners) here. The hotel's restaurant is exactly what you expect from The Hoxton, and that's totally fine, and we'll take the checked pillowcases off the beds next time.
Marin, the owner of this distinctive boutique in Paris, is a real bargain hunter, illustrator, collector, author and always looking for the best undiscovered places, hey that's funny, we do that at Bart also, haha. All those qualities of owner Marin make his shop, Marine Montagut a must visit during your visit to the French capital. After Marin grew up in the south of France, he started designing cinemas at a young age. After Marin became an assistant to a designer Chrisian Sapet Marin started producing several documentaries for the fashion industry at the vintage market of Saint-Ouen, which led him to travel all over the world. Marin soon started creating his own collection of books published by Flammarion, which is how the first ones were born Bonjour City Map Guides, in which Marin organizes all the unusual, well-hidden addresses. Marin sees every trip as a search for antique gems that he sells in his shop. Long story short, Marin's job is difficult to name, but all his passions are reflected in his boutique.
Looking for a nice hotel in Paris with friendly staff, nice (family) rooms and a great restaurant in a great location? We get it! Bee Babylon Belleville you must be. Good night.
It is a magically beautiful district Montmartre, also called La Butte for the French people. Montmarte is located in the eighteenth arrondissement and used to be an artists' village The one and only Picasso, Van Gogh and Dalí lived there. In this one picture-perfect The basilica is also nearby SacréCoeur with its famous dome. You walk through steep, winding streets with a beautiful view of the city.
In this district you will find many nice terraces, restaurants and trendy bars. The Pink House is a well-known one spot in the neighborhood, secretly the food there is not special at all but just fine for a nice lunch. This place is popular because of... formal and casual looks. La Maison Rose, you are so sweet and handsome with your soft pink walls and overgrown greenery.
There is more, much more. Stroll around and sit down at, for example La Moulin de la Galette of La Mere Catherine. Located just outside Montmartre Pink Mom, a popular Italian restaurant. Here you can eat authentic Italian dishes in a hip interior. On the top floor there is a greenhouse with plants, marble tables and colorful tableware.
Hôtel Particulier Montmarte, this is a romantic hotel with a courtyard where chickens roam around your feet while you start the morning with a petit dejeuner. A stylish conservatory, vintage-style bar and sheik French period rooms with gold mirrors and more of that kind.
Natural materials, colors and scents, but all timeless. From the moment you step inside you forget that you are in Paris, completely away from the city stimuli. We love the stimuli but some rest during you getaway we like it too. In the hotel you will find many nice corners and retreat areas. If we can use one word: soothing. Spacious rooms, one even with a terrace, the other with a bath including products from Rituals, we think it's good stuff.
The, what, how shall we say this, people who are more spiritual are also included Hidden Hotel in the right place. Everything here revolves around a philosophy of respect and love for the noblest materials, craftsmanship and handmade products. For the yoga pros they have a special wall where you can let loose. Relaxed and yet completely recover after a day in the city Hidden Hotel.
You don't need yoga at all for a yoga hotel in the middle of Paris with an interior that makes you feel zen, ha. Everything under the motto: less is more. For example, in every hotel room you will not find shampoo or conditioner in separate bottles, but a shampoo bar. Bamboo toothbrushes, homemade remove toothpaste and reusable makeup padsNo TV in the room, but yoga attributes, everything to make your stay great relaxed make possible. The hotel also has a spa, great for a rainy day City or just if you want something relaxing can use time. Yoga, yes that is central here, special Japanese methods such as YUJ yoga in a dark room with heat lamps. The good thing is, you really don't have to expert they give lessons here at every level.
In the hotel you will also find a beautiful Floreria, a flower shop that specializes in dried flowers. The Kitchen, the restaurant where you can go all day, from breakfast with vegetable croissants, French baguette, marmalade, butter and coffee, that's all you need. You're also in the right place for dinner, tacos with BBQ beef tatare, or tartelloni with ricotta, tomato, capers and tarragon oil. The kitchen works like this green possible with as many plant products as possible.
We love Pianoterra, a handsome bistro with a concrete floor, embroidered tablecloths, Thonet chairs, and vintage photos on the walls. The chef Rosa Vina Pavorne Sicilian cooking there, so tasty, so fresh, just very good. We love a regularly changing small menu, especially when it is all so tasty, it is so difficult to choose. A well-oiled octopus salad with cherry tomatoes, crispy carrots and flat-leaf parsley or a divine caponato with eggplant and bell pepper or or or the pasta alla Norma and for dessert a generous spoonful of chocolate mouse with olive oil.
The owner of this topper is originally a butcher, but now that he sees how people deal with the world, such as eating fastfood and eating poor quality meat, he wants to change this. La Boucherie Gregoire opts for a completely different strategy, a global approach with the keywords: ethical, ecological, gastronomic and social.
La Boucherie Gregoire, is the name of the butcher shop and here you can get the best quality meat. A sustainable butcher that is fair to people, planet, farmers and guests. And in a gem of a business too. Qinsou, in the same building you will find this restaurant Antonin Bonnet with a passion for food and drinks and cooks the freshest products. It doesn't get much better, two top players under one roof.
