City Breaks In Paris – Paris Hotels
Posted July 21, 2009 by BookingBuddy
Stay
Hotel Keppler – This elegant boutique hotel near the Champs Elysee is pet-friendly –owners are invited to bring their furry babies along when checking in. The animal theme is reflected in their eclectic décor, featuring plenty of animal prints and sculptures splashed liberally around. If your preference is for hotels with minimal, neutral décor, the Hotel Keppler may be a shock to your system. Each room is decked out in a stunning and unique combination of colours and prints – sometimes complementary, sometimes clashing, but certainly never beige. Room rates start at around £250.
Eat
Laduree – Indulge your tastebuds at this most Parisian of tearooms on the Champs Elysee. You’ll want to try their famed macaroons, of course, but it’s hard to choose just one when they all look so delicious. The little jewel-toned cakes are made each morning in their ‘laboratory’, and Laduree’s bakers create a new flavour for each season. Of course, there are plenty of other tasty treats on offer too should macaroons not be your cup of tea. Why not order a divinely flaky millefeuille with rum-flavoured cream, or a ‘religieuse’ flavoured with rose petals? You may need a new set of teeth after this, but it would’ve been well worth it.
Shop
Les Puces des Saint-Ouen – The world’s largest antiques market at Porte de Clignancourt is a must-see for any visitor. Even if you’re not into antiques, it’s a great opportunity for people watching, as the whole world seems to be crammed into this tiny part of Paris during peak periods. If you are a serious bargain hunter, then get there as early as possible, as the flea market becomes so crowded after noon that it may be hard for you to move about. When you get hungry after all that haggling, grab yourself a crepe from one of the many stands dotted around the place.

love your new rug! I can’t imagine that it looked too busy in your living room, all I know is that is looks divine in your dining room.
