Highly original, truly unique
The grand event, hosted at the most
coveted address in Paris. The Elysee Palace ended beautiful with a
spectacular firework display at the Tower Eiffel. The reason: It was the
120th anniversary of the world’s most photographed monument. What’s
more, the fireworks matched its glory. Incidentally, July is also month
when the Tour de France ends at the Place de la Concord with all bikers
racing on the Champs Elysee. A host of surprises welcomed us as we
joined the crowds to welcome the enthusiastic sportsmen. The buzz was
amazing; everyone had a speedy disposition and a big grin. The racers
rode at the speed of the escort cars and it was difficult to click a
good picture. Everyone from little children to aged men Veronique
Quefflec , Pinazo and Beri at the La Fermette Marbeuf
Gastronomical delights
La
Fermette Marbeuf, the historical French Restaurant which opened its
doors in 1900, is a real gem. Situated in the heart of the Triangle d’Or
at 5 Rue Marbeuf, its authentic French interiors overwhelmed us. The
refinement of Parisian aesthetics was obvious as soon as we walked in to
the restaurant. It is an artistic marvel, dominated by gilded mirrors,
lacquered surfaces, frescoes and statues including massive chandeliers
on gold leaf painted ceilings.
For dinner, Chef Jerome served us
gourmet delights that included melt-in-the-mouth appetizers,
must-for-the-occasion champagne and different courses that were
complemented by suitable wines. Unforgettable degustation options, the
best of the typical French favorites like escargot and foie gras,
creative dishes like sautéed langoustine in citrus oil braised turbot
with truffles made for a royal feast. The Grand Marnier Souffle was the
piece de resistance. It perfectly served as the meeting point of
absolute glamour and aristocratic fine dining. It was just too French!
Art Junction
The
grand opening of the Madame Vionnet exhibition at the decorative Arts
Museum of Paris at the Louvre was pure nostalgia. Comparisons were drawn
to how contemporary her style was. The hall was jam-packed with
celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Charlize Theron to name a few. We
also spotted Christina Aguilera who made a brief entry with beau and
three bodyguards in tow. It was, we felt, the perfect tribute to
quintessential style. Like any trip, France car rentalservice will help you to explore more places nearby Paris.
Shop till you drop
A
trip to Paris without a visit to the unique Parisian flea markets is
incomplete. Also known as the Puces de Saint-Quen or Clignancourt ,
north of Montmartre, this is the city’s ( some claim the world’s )
largest and the most famous flea market, offering everything from Louis
XVI Furniture , precious antique jeweler , famous book collections ,
wines and all kinds of collectibles. If you are far away from north of
Paris, you must hire car in Paris to reach this market.
Paris
is always an exceptional experience of varied senses, a personal
welcome and one leaves the city feeling it is never enough.
