The French are so good at making their shops look stylish, gorgeous and inviting
The little shopping streets are beautiful – but be warned, they aren’t cheap!
This salad was fantastic: red cabbage, apple, balsamic vinegar and balsamic reduction (to add a bit of sweetness). I make a variation, replacing the apple with raisins – good too.
These
shwarmas (
falafels and salad with spicy sauce) we found in the Jewish Quarter were tasty, quick and cheap (5 euros each).
Me in a cafe
We couldn’t figure this out exactly, but what we think it is, is a bicycle hire that takes you from the various metro station. It is charged onto your travel card (like a London Oyster card). When you’ve used it, you drop it off at the next cycle park.
The bicycles are electric, so it seems a good way to get around town. But you do need to be brave to share the roads with Parisian drivers!
This was our favourite cafe. Nice location, nice food, didn’t break the bank!
These are
Sia (fake) bay trees from the
Sia Home shop. I am desperate to find these here in the UK, but not having much joy as yet. Let me know if you know where to get them…
Lisa bough this picture and I just love it!
Here she is showing it off …
In spite of Paris having become far more expensive that I ever remember it, we had a fantastic time!
