Lovely Dinners

For a grander, intimate meal be sure to try Benoit. It's an Alain Ducasse restaurant, and one of Ina Garten's favorites. The meal I had was fabulous. The décor is so pretty. It is a great place to have lunch. Be sure to make reservations as it books quickly.

Also, the Grand Café du Opera is beautiful with great food. It's near the Opera House, and open Sunday evenings.

For a 3-star or 4-star Michelin meal, right now Jules Verne at the top of the Eiffel tour, and Alain Ducasse are very chic.

The underground world of Paris. Bones from the old cemeteries of Paris, namely the cemetery of the Innocents. Ossuaries in the hollowed out spaces of the former stone quarries.

For art/museums...

In the basement of the La'Orangerie Museum are Monet's Water lilies. I didn't know that they are huge wall murals in the round. It's recently restored and amazing. If you're near the Louvre, the L'orangerie is very near by, kind of on the other side of the gardens. If you think you might go to the Louvre, and don't want to stay a long time, there's a speed route that will get you to all the most famous works of art and the highlights. There are dozens of great museums included in the purchase of museum pass. Send me an email for the complete list.

Have a great trip! Bon chance and Bon voyage!
