There are never enough to travel to Paris, the city of love, light, fashion, macaroons and champagne toast. New hotels, museums, trends and, of course, classics, such as a hearty 'petit dejeuner' overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Oh la la, Paris.
Paris is always a matter of attitude. To love, to happiness, to optimism, to life. Few cities can boast symbolize many cities in one and so a trip to the capital of France is always a new experience for one simple reason, it is possible to find as many cities as attitudes towards life are taken. A weekend in Paris is quite enough, there are three intense days in which to visit some of the most legendary hotels, enjoy a good espresso in a cafe in the Marais district, shopping for so elegant streets like Saint Honore or visit one of the newest temples of art, culture and design, the Museum of the Louis Vuitton Foundation. "If one of them dies, 'said the husband to the wife I'll move to Paris." Word of Sigmund Freud.
Whether it is a first contact with the city or not, no one should miss such important places like the Arc de Triomphe which was built by Napoleon, holds the title of being the largest triumphal arch in the world. The Sacré-Coeur, one of my fetish places in Paris, an almost mystical corner from which to see the city at your feet. And from one side to another of the city we continue our journey to the Centre Georges Pompidou, a daring art center that is also a fictitious entry door of the Marais, my favorite. A visit to the Pompidou is absolutely required, as it is a dinner or cocktail at Georges restaurant, located on the roof of the imposing building built it seems backwards. Georges from some of the best views of the city to the stunning Eiffel Tower, the most recognized monument throughout France are obtained. But before visiting 'the old lady', it is unacceptable to make a stop on the way to walk, get lost and to meet again in the neighborhood of Le Marais.
And although the magic of Le Marais can not be bought, yes you can enjoy. My two favorite places all have but etched in my roadmap; one of them is Les Philosophes, at 28 rue Vieille du Temple, perfect to enjoy a morning espresso rich in literary and decadent atmosphere. The second serves to sample the rich French cuisine, and nothing better to do at Au Petit Fer à Cheval. It's small, noisy and rather uncomfortable, but no matter, it's one of my places 'foodies' favorite. It was inaugurated in the early twentieth century, look at the spectacular horseshoe shaped bar and serve the best filet mignon I've ever had. Le Marais, along with key retailers such as Diptyque (where everyone should take home any of his classic candles, my favorite is the Baies), you can also find brands such as Maje and Sandro, whose places are all the rage. Mixed among the tremendous trends amalgam of Le Marais, the Jewish beat excels with its shops and street food rich kosher restaurants such as falafel. An interesting stop is the Museum of Jewish Art and History, at 71 rue du Temple.
