I would love a restaurant list! And you’ve definitely inspired me to plan my own solo trip to Paris. I love that idea so much… and after reading this I suddenly feel so much better about having a less than stellar experience in Paris with my husband! Ha! 🤣

Yes, do NOT feel badly. In fact, Paula just texted us and said “Paris is for friends!” Will work on that list!

What a heavenly post!! So dreamy to picture you guys there. Maison Jardin d'Écrivains sounds incredible. Next time you're both in Paris let me know, I'll jump on the Eurostar 💗💗💗

No explanation why the 11th, sigh. (Prefer the 1st) Not one musee visit? Les perfumeries pres de l'Opera? Not one jardins? (Love my Franglish) Must have been boring. :-( Reads like a brochure for the spots posted. Bless your heart.

For many years I and my friends depended on Mme Fourier Rouille at Parisimmo for apartments, 7ieme in September-ish. Now I want to visit with a youngster and cannot find a service like Parisimmo with apartments which work well for me in the ministerial quarter.
