Experience form our recent stay in Paris

Hi,

We’ve just returned from our 4-day stay in Paris and I thought to share my experience.

Our first night was in the Atel Relais Medicis Hotel,very close to Odeon..The choice of this hotel was based on tripadvisors reviews. Unfortunately our specific request for a quite room (my wife is almost hypochondriac) didn’t come through travelnow reservation system to the very friendly Hotel staff and we ended up with a room on the street side. However anyone liking romantic, floral stile, will enjoy staying at this hotel.

We could find a quite room in the Hotel Le Senat, which is a modern hotel providing fairly good standards (in a deluxe room).

Following suggestions from the tripadvisor forum we had diner in Le Temps Perdu, Rue de Seine. It’s a typical french bistro with good atmosphere friendly staff, good food in reasonable prices.

The other day we had diner in Bouillon de Racine, (Racinie Str.) The décor of this restaurant is amazing and the atmosphere excellent thanks to the friendly and amusing waiter. The food was rather poor and overpriced.

The next evening we were in Chez Paul, near Place d’Italie. It is an excellent restaurant with very good French traditional food. We had fois gras as a starter and then my wife onglet very nicely grilled and myself andouilletes. The dessert – choc pastry and a cirton sorbet were also good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

The last evening we went to our favourite restaurant in Paris , Chez Andre, Rue Marbeuf 12 (every time we visit Paris we have dinner there). It is a very typical Parisian bistro with excellent atmosphere and food. And rather good prices for this neighborhood. The only minus this time is that is has become popular with tourists (from U.S. mainly) But we are tourists as well.

We had a wonderfull time, good weather, enjoyed walking in Marais, Notre Dame –Ils St. Louis and St Germain and visiting the Bonnard Exhibition (what a great painter) in the Museum of Modern Art. Can’t wait the time to visit again.
