Nicole & Vinny in Paris

First meal in Paris. Crepe Suzette and Croque Monsiuer. Kind of generic, but we needed to sit.

We had coffee here while we waited to check-in. The people were so welcoming and nice, but we never got back for a full meal.

The place is beautiful, the room nice and the staff is amazing. It’s like being a guest in someone’s home. We recommend this place fully! Location is better than we knew!

Nice place, nice service, good food. We both had a glass of wine and the Onion Soup. It was very good! Nicole had the Vegetable Tartin with Mozzarella and Mesclun. Vinny had Duck Confit with Grenaille Potatoes. Both were very good. We finished with tea & espresso.

Our first Boulangerie in Paris! Great coffee and lovely croissants! 🥐 We wound up coming here every morning while we were in The Latin Quarter.

Batobus is a water taxi that makes stops all along the Seine. No tourguides but 2 days for 27€.

We went a little American here. Nicole had Avocado Toast and I had a Cheeseburger 🇫🇷🇺🇸 Super nice place close to The Eiffel Tower.

We just walked by and liked the vibe. We started with Snails Sautéed with Goat Cheese, and some Oysters. Two glasses of Bordeaux and Nicole had Thai Chicken with Polenta while I had Steak Frites. We finished with an excellent Crème Brûlée. The place was chef-driven and the service was casual, while doing all the fancy moves. Super friendly.

Good, but didn’t hold a candle to yesterday’s Boulangerie.

Another Landmark that lives up to the hype! The place is cool, hip and adorable at the same time 🇫🇷

The first time Nicole and I thought it was great! Champagne, Savory Crepes and Escargot! Touristic but nice! We came back two days later with Kristine just for coffee ☕️ and our server was very nasty and rude! Which was awesome 👏 because we almost made it through the whole trip without having that experience 😂🇫🇷

The coffee was good ☕️

Coffee and people watching before the Catecombs de Paris

Not for everyone, but we loved it 💀

Boulangerie lunch! Vinny had a Baguette Sandwich and Nicole had Quiche. We ate outside and it was better than it had any right to be!

Very cool sleek modern hip coffee joint. The coffee was very good.

This place was very nice, and you can’t beat the price. The courtyard was beautiful with little places to sit and beautifully lit at night. The apartments come with everything you could need.

This is a great neighborhood place! It became our local while in Le Marais. Our meet-up spot while Kris was in town. Very friendly staff and everything you need.

We had plans to visit The Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation but it was closed and we happened across this place. It was a very moving experience.

My brother suggested this place. WOW! The macarons were next level! This history of this place is crazy!

This one of those have-to-see places. We were there for 15 minutes but it’s a stunner.

This place was cool historically but still way cool as just a bar. The bartender was an old-school pro. I had one of their famous hot dogs 🌭 and it was yummy! Hemingway had nothing on us 🤓

Hungry walking around Le Marais we stopped in because there was indoor seating. The food was great! It was quick and easy!

Can’t beat the location, directly across from The Moulin Rouge. It was quiet and comfortable for a pre-Montmartre cocktail 🍸

The Sacrè Coeur is as magical and lovely as you’d imagine. Spectacular views inside and out. We took the funicular, I’m too old for all those steps. We were there at sunset and watched Paris sparkle.

Kristine’s friend Tatiana knew of this wonderful little place. Probably mobbed in high season, but here in mid-November we had it all to ourselves. The food was great! We all started with Onion Soup, and it was as good we we had all week. I had Pot-e-feu which is like French Potroast with winter vegetables. Nicole had a Warm Goat Cheese Salad with French Toast, amazing, and Kristine had Pork Loin with little potatoes. Some wine and dessert as well. It was a happy Thanksgiving 🦃

You can only come here if you’re like, really, cool 😎 We were invited to a super exclusive Parisian art/music happening. Of course we fit right in 👨‍🎨😂🤓

This was across the street from our Le Marais studio, and it was always packed. We had breakfast Friday morning with Kristine and it’s crowded because it’s very good. We had great coffee and fancy French omelettes. Highly recommended!

If Le Louvre is intimidating we loved Musée D’Orsay. Wonderful mix of art but focused on the impressionists. We spent about two hours and saw most of what was available. This is worth your time.

Wow, Montmartre was amazing. It’s like The Latin Quarter with hills and views! I’d like to stay in this area for a couple days on the next Paris trip.
