Paris-Phile

Do you love Paris? Live for your next trip? Are you lucky enough to already live there?

I'm going back (from New York) November 3rd. It's only for a week, but better than nothing. Any recommendations? Suggestions? Advice?

For starters, here are a few of my favorite places:

Hotel La Bourdonnais - 111 Avenue de la Bourdonnais (7e)

Le Bosquet - Avenue Bosquet & Champ de Mars (7e)
Comptoir du 7e - Avenue LaMotte-Picaquet (7e)
Cafe du Marche - Rue Cler (7e)
Le Ronsard - Rue Steinquerque (18e)
La Mere Catherine - Rue Norvins (18e)

I love other places outside the 7th but don't know offhand which arrondissements they're in:

Chartier - 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
Le Procope - 13 Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie
Sannine (Lebanese) - Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
Angelina - Rue de Rivoli

W. H. Smith - Rue de Rivoli & } these two are
Shakespeare & Co. - 37 Rue de la Bucherie } not restaurants, but favorites of mine

For whatever information, leads, merci beaucoup!

And don't forget the book, "Time was Soft There," by Jeremey Mercer, about the bookstore, Shakespeare and Company. A good read, before or after your trip.

Thanks so much, Rita! I read that. Did you read it? I also recommend Shakespeare & Company by Sylvia Beach, founder of the original bookstore. By the way, it's great that your photo is included with your comment. How did you do that?
