FALL delights
Crepes & Carousels
Paris
carousels are a quintessential image. Crepes are a traditional dessert.
Indulge in both this Fall, a beautiful time to be playful in Paris.
Crepe Rule: Take away crepe stands are best!
Nothing more than streets window opening directly into the kitchen of a restaurant, watch the dextrous way crepes are made paper-thin, swiftly folded & wrapped and enjoy a variety of savory and sweet treats. Cheaper than eating in, 1-2 ingredient dessert crepe €3-3.50, savory crepe €4-5.
Carousel Rule: Not useless rides that empty your pockets of loose change, but beautiful pieces of art. People who say money can’t buy happiness are wrong, because it can, in Paris at least: 2,50€ for a three minute ride on a wooden horse. At night especially beautiful!
1. Au Petit Grec: Latin Quarter by Pantheon (66 rue Mouffetard MAP) They heap ingredients onto a variety of crepes, including seasonal ones.
Nearby CAROUSEL @ Jardin du Luxembourg - MAP
The green-roofed carousel in the Luxembourg is the oldest in Paris, dating back 1879. The weather-worn animals ridden over centuries were sketched by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera
2. Princess Crepes (3 rue des Ecouffes MAP). Crepes with a Japanese twist. Eyes peeled for a storefront resembling a geisha’s dollhouse topped with whipped cream. You won’t break the bank while indulging here.

The Dodo Manège is young (1992) but adopts a 1930s style and interesting theme. Children can ride extinct animals or those on the verge
