I’m off to Paris for the weekend. I just love saying that — actually it’s longer than a weekend, but I’ll be back stateside for Thanksgiving. There may be some blogging à Paris, but I’m not sure yet. Ideally I’ll be too busy galavanting around or relaxing to hit an internet cafe.
I’m hoping my French comes flooding back once I hit Charles de Gaulle, but we’ll see. As long as I can find my way around town and around a menu, I’m sure I’ll be fine. Eating suggestions are welcome, although at this point I might have more than I can squeeze in! Suggestions on where to linger over a glass of red wine and write in my journal are also appreciated. À bientôt!

I highly recommend the Sainte-Chapelle cathedral not far from Notre Dame–walls and walls of stunning medieval stained glass. When I visited, as I walked up the narrow spiral staircase into the chapel, each of the people ahead of me gasped in awe as they entered. And when it was my turn I was surprised to let out an involuntary gasp, too. It is really not to miss.
I had a really solid Italian meal at a place called Casabini at 36 rue Grégoire de Tours (Tel 01.46.34.05.60). Very charming atmosphere, run by friendly Italians, pretty much a local crowd.
Have a great time!
