finger on the Paris pulse

Bonjour sweet blogger friends and followers, Paris lovers and B&B travellers :) 

We're getting back in the swing of things having returned to Australia last week, catch up on lost zzz's and in our waking moments fantasising/pretending we are still wining dining and croissant crunching in Paris. 
But yes its back to hard work, le siesta is well and truly over, and we're back in Sydney, after 2 months living in Paris, but we always keep an eye on her...even from afar we live, breathe see Paris only :D Crazy but c'est vrai :) So we will only continue to bring Paris to you everyday with our B&B news, special offers, city news and beautiful photos :) 


But oh sigh, we want to go back in the land of cheese and croissants, wine and cafes for real...  2 months is never enough and nothing but a Parisian tease haha... but each year we return the stay seems to get longer and longer - so we have happy confidence one day we may very well stay for 6 months sojourns instead or more - le yay!!!!

32 NEW Paris B&Bs and Apartments 
for our unique boutique website
We will blog post each new home as they are added to our website :) Here is a peak at some newbies being added in the next 48 hours :) 




But onward we go, back in our homeland and for very good reason, to be 'true' a local connection to Paris for all our Australian followers, (and of course other international guests and friends that have stumbled upon us we do not exclude anyone)... and that means a lot of work with the local Australian media to keep up the publicity and education about travelling to Paris and what B&Bs (our B&Bs) are all about, educating all downunder about authentic travel experiences and basically to be able to say 'yes we are in Australia' where we can also be a voice and friendly face to many guests seeking true personable service when booking a home in Paris... we also hope to participate in this years French Festivals around Australia, so far Brisbane and Melbourne!  :) and of course to keep on keeping on with the Paris love, B&B bookings, work, blogging and facebooking...

Secret Passages of Paris


Secret Passages of Paris

The passages are old-fashioned shopping malls from the late 1700s and early 1800s that provided cover from rain, mud and horses for the chic shopping ladies of yesteryear. There is something special about these secret little passageways. Walking into each one feels like you are unwrapping a different gift. There are ones that silently slide off major streets revealing hidden gems under coloured, colourful galleries.

Find Addresses of Paris Passages click - here



The most famous passage is Vivienne in the 2nd Arrondissement and possibly my favourite with its spectacular mosaic tiles and great shopping - the modern art gallery is found here as well as a fabulous florist, a killer tea salon A Priori The, and a book store of rare finds, Bistro Vivienne, a fine wine shop and the creme de la creme is Jean Paul Guaultier - and more.


Passage Colbert is also beautiful, possibly more grand than Vivienne and here is the brasserie Le Grand Colbert, from the movie 'Something's Gotta Give'. Utterly romantic!

Panoramas Passage is the oldest with many restaurants and cafes and a fabulous engraver.


Jouffroy Passage specialises in toys and a great needlepoint shop, old movie posters, Lebanese pastries and the wax museum of Paris, Musée Grévin is here.


Verdeau Passages specialise in antiques, comics, musical instruments and engravings), among others.


The funkiest passage is Passage Brady, which is chock-full of Indian and Pakistani restaurants. Some recommended restos here which may be a bit too shabby for some tastes.

Find Addresses of Paris Passages click - here

There’s also number of notable restaurants in the passages, like the Michelin-starred Passage 53 and the eclectic back-alley Au Passage.

Patisserie pleasures de Paris


Patisserie Boulangerie Pleasures
We have gorged on old and new favourites:

1. Du Pain et des Idees - 10eme



Highly recommended by our B&B hosts in the area and deservedly so... We devoured L'Escargot aux Pralines, Le Chausson à la Pomme Fraiche, Tarte aux Pommes, and take away Corn bread (made only once a week on Wednesdays) ...Nothing could be cosier that a paris patisserie and watching the rain fall in Paris






34 Rue Yves Toudic 75010 MAP
Website

2. Delmontel Au
A newly discovered local place in Montmartre servng the best baguettes we have ever had to date in Paris. This is serious, we're throwing our hands up and declaring its Delmontel for 'les meilleures baguettes de Paris' (The best baguettes in Paris). No other boulangerie makes me run to its door to get the fresh batch like Delmontel does ha!!







and lets talk about the cakes. Pure perfection. This is what art looks and tastes like people. go there. There is one on rue Damremont in Montmartre but 2 other locations too, two in the 9th and 17th.




 
au Revoir, until next month...
