Paris

3 days in Paris


We stayed at MAMA SHELTER which was recommended to me by several of my friends...it's a little way out of the city infact it's next to the cemetaary di...but an easy walk to the metro, all the staff are super friendly the breakfast was great as was the restaurant.
It was an easy walk along Rue du Charonne to the e6
check out
and Sessun had some fab stuff!
Not forgetting one of my favorite shops in Paris
Merci where I picked up some great Christmas gifts.

I'd never been to the Canal St. Martin area so we made a lunch reservation at hotel du nord there aren't  too many shops, probably the Spring is a little more lively & buzzing...lunch was OK.
We walked to the e3 stopped off for a coffee at Merce and the Muse mainly because we'd read so much hype about it...let me put it this way...seen it & done it...no need to go back...the space is super cute the carrot cake was great...but the attitude of the staff SUCKED...and they don't have the Parisan excuse, they were all American!



 hotel du nord

Le Bon Marche...is a dangerous place.

Friday night we had dinner at hotel amour...it was good, although we had absolutely no luck on this trip with good tables, we felt we were shoved in passage ways, tables that were too small, or on the end of someone elses table...

Saturday morning we wandered around Le Marchè aux Puces...finding some last minute treasures before heading back to Verona.
