We
learned a lot about the art of fine living from the Parisians.
Our
first morning in Paris, we awoke to a sweet buttery aroma rising up from
the street below. Long before the sounds of trucks and cars could be heard,
the bakers were busy making the croissants and pain au chocolates that
fuel Parisians.
We
stayed at the Hotel Royal
Phare, located near the Rue Cler in the 7th arrondisemont, a convenient
5 meters from the Ecole Militaire metro stop. We stayed on the 5th &
6th floors in cozy and quiet rooms facing the courtyard, with views of
the top of the Eiffel tower.
Rue
Cler is a perfect place to gather a picnic. While somewhat expensive,
the peaches and pears at the corner market were some of the best food
we had in Europe. |
