Paris in the springtime 2007
Not shiny metallics, but more subtle pewters and brownish – golds. Really gorgeous. More on the fashions I saw later….but first what we discovered on the streets of Paris.
Nothing like running around Paris with a great friend. We had one day to shop and eat our hearts out. Here is how our day went as we skipped around the Marais neighborhood:
Tresor – 6 Rue du Tresor – sweet women’s clothing store that I just discovered.
Le Jardin Moghol-53 rue Vieille du Temple: amazing Indian prints, bedding, curtains.
My house is filled with curtains, throws, pillows, and my favorite robe is from here!
Miller Et Bartaux-17 rue Ferdinand Duval: handmade clothing, small collectables. I just got the coolest watch from Tokyo here!!
L’Eclaireur-3 rue des rosiers: amazing clothing and space but very $$ Good people watching!! Also don’t miss: Colette-213 rue Saint Honore-super chic and Barney’s type store with eclectic clothing, items of desire, and great people watching!
After a few shops, we were starved and needed a little treat at:
Mariage Freres-30 rue du Bourg Tibourg-definitely have lunch here + pastries. Do try the tea and champagne drink…and the caramel tea.
Next onto our favorite Moroccan shop:
Mia Zia-4 rue Caumartin: Moroccan clothing, accessories, bedding…gorgeous store.
Then onto the best macaroons and Parisian chocolate on the Right Bank:
Laduree-21 rue Bonaparte: be sure to go to the macaroon store and chocolate store. Incredible restaurant/tea salon too.
Across the street, don’t miss:
Simrane-23 rue Bonaparte (across the street from Laduree): great cotton robes, bedding, prints, pillow cases, totes, etc.
Our favorite restaurants in Paris so far are:
404-69 rue des Gravilliers (01.42.74.57.81 reservations a must.) the best Morrocan food!
Café Noura-121 blvd du Montparnasse (01.43.20.19.19) Lebanese Food! Don’t miss it!
Fish La Boissonnerie – 69 Rue de Seine (01.43.54.34.69) must make a reservation!
