If you are a lover of old and rare books, you need to bring a visit to the shop of Michel Bouvier. It’s only open  in the afternoon from 14h till 19 h or by appointment. It’s seems a bit confidential or reservated for the happy few, but the owner is a very kind person. He says old and rare books are also a but of luxury and so is a nice library.

15 years ago we were fond of the brothers Conticini. My son’s best desert ever was a little fried chocolat ball with dripping chocolate inside.

Now one of the brothers Conticini has his own tea room with great patries. What to think of …a dream come true strawberry pie.

Sweet dough, crushed almond butter, a touch of rhubarb, vanilla cream and many ciflorette strawberries.
In addition, a little strawberry juice to pour on the pie to titillate those taste buds.

Pâtisserie des rêves, 111, Rue de Longchamp, 75016 Paris, Téléphone : +33 (0)1 47 04 00 24
Ouvert du mardi au vendredi de 14h à 19h

One of Paris’s smallest, yet most charming, public squares. All around, you can find many prestigious stores of design (Flamand), materials , decorations and antiques.

Many artists have painted this romantic place and you can visit the intimate Musée Delacroix. This is the house where the artist lived and worked from 1857 till his death. The museum is a heaven of silence. You can admire some of his watercolor paintings and some selfportraits, befor heading to the nearby church of St. Sulpice where you painted some murals.

From the travel blog of Fodor’s, written by Alexander Lobrano : Designed by architects Rem Koolhaas and Clément Blanchet, this cool white marble space is the sister address to chef Aizpitarte’s Le Chateaubriand restaurant next door. The brief menu changes regularly and showcases his imaginative cooking. For lunch there is a menu fixe, for dinner only bites like tapas.
