My beautiful friend Cami is leaving Australia tomorrow to live in Paris, how exciting is that !!!!
So I thought I would show her some of my favorite things to do in one of my most loved cities.
People watching would have to be one of the best things to do in Paris, so wonderful!!!
The "Picasso museum" in the Marais is a must see.
Must buy fresh flowers in Paris ........
"Shakespeare and Co" is my favorite bookstore, you could spend the whole day there.
This is the street where we had our apartment..... "no.26 Rue Des Rosiers" in the Marais district.
So Cami you must stroll past no.26 and think of us.
It is such a vibrant and interesting area, great cafes, bars, galleries and a great mix of people..... my favorite place in Paris.
Climb the stairs of the "Arc de Triomphe" for a great veiw of Paris.
Promise to go to "Merci"..... it had not opened when I was there, but I have it on very good authority that it is amazing !!!!
Merci cafe.
The "Le Centre Pompidou" has the most amazing collection of modern art in Paris and the views from the top are amazing.
Take a morning walk (or in your case Cami, a jog) along the "Seine" before the sun rises..... so quite and beautiful.
"Place des Vosges" is such a lovely place to stroll or just sit in the park near the fountain and take it all in.....
We will miss you XXXXX
Au revoir lovely girl !!!!

and i adore "merci"..if i was a shop...i would be "merci" (i actually said that to a french guy..and he gave me a weird look!) heheh...;))
Thats going to be exciting, a new start ,congratulations...
Thank you for this. I love Paris. I'm rather envious about the fact that you have actually lived there!
Oh...please take me there NOW. I have only been to Paris once when I was 20. And you have lived there?! Great guide.
i absolutely fell in love with shakespeare & co. last year! i think i visitied pretty much every day i was in paris. place des vosges is a favourite of mine too! have you been to the mosque near rue mouffetard? such a special place, and it has an amazing cafe attatched with mosaics and sweet tea and all those good things. oh, paris! oh, and of course laduree. must have macarons.
GORGEOUS post - you plucked at my heartstrings when you mentioned Shakespeare & Co... I haven't visited for 15 YEARS and that is too long for anyone. Sigh.
Yes! This is a fabulous list! I love Place des Vosges. I would add Musee Rodin and Institut du Monde Arabe. I would also suggest a visit to Hediard (I love the tea...and the packaging) and Colette (although it can get quite busy). As far as churches go, La Sainte Chapelle is a must (even though it's touristy). But seriously - you've compiled a fab list!
