After a glorious 2 week vacation seeing the sights of Italy it was time for a taste of Paris . . . literally ! My wife and I flew into Paris from Bologna on Monday, Oct 2nd. A limo driver met us at the airport and took us to our apartment in Rue Daguerre. FABULOUS SPOT ! Our travel agent found us this 2 bed / 1.5 bath 3rd floor apartment with a balcony actually on Rue Daguerre. We were here for one fabulous week of dining, shopping, sightseeing and guided tours. RESTAURANTS EVERYWHERE !
And not only a diverse range of restaurants but chocolatiers, jewelers, fashion shops, fresh seafood, delicatessen, pastry shops, grocers, a pharmacy, supermarket and bakeries. I am certain we bought something from every shop in our street and dined at most of the eateries. We discovered this excellent bakery on our 2nd day in Paris . . . just a 5 minute walk around the corner from our apartment. The dazzling pastries and gourmet sandwiches caught the eye every visit.
We bought some delicious bread for breakfast toast and a fabulous Baguette. In fact we called in here a couple more times for their sensational baguettes. It was hard to leave without wanting to buy everything in the shop. Most evenings we would sit on the balcony of our 3rd floor apartment for our “HAPPY HOUR” enjoying a fabulous fresh baguette, spicy chorizo and super creamy brie watching the dining crowd below. And then we would head out to dinner at one of the restaurants. WHAT A LIFE !
