With Eyes Open Surveys
- Survey 4: The Best Hot Chocolate In Town?
I love having hot chocolate on a cold winter day, but on my trips to Paris I have rarely experienced a day chilly enough to make me think of this decadent drink.
- Survey 3: Your Favorite Bistro, Restaurant, Or Cafe in Paris?
One of the best reasons to travel to Paris is to eat, there is no doubt about that.
- Survey 2: Your Favorite Arrondissement Or Quartier In Paris?
Paris is divided into twenty arondissements, numbered from 1 to 20, starting in the center of Paris and spiraling out in a clockwise circle.
Culture
- Notre Dame de Montmartre
The color creates a sort of moving painting, using light as its medium. The color appears to be warm and soft, but running a hand over the stone, it is cold and illusory.
- The Tomb Of Le Duc d’Enghien
This tomb is located in the Gothic chapel that is on the compound of the Château Vincennes.
- Winged Victory
The Winged Victory of Samothrace is that one piece in the Louvre that is constant.
- Michelangelo At The Louvre
The Louvre is not a place I would instinctively visit to see work by the famous sculptor Michelangelo Buonarotti.
Food for the Table
- The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
The Egg holds a dear place in the gastronomy of France. They are the base of many of France’s favorite recipes - from flan to omelettes, to les oeufs dur.
- Mafé Poulet
How to make the one dish that you will find in any West African restaurant in Paris!
- Crêpes!
You can find all kinds of Crêpes in Parisian restaurants and cafes as well as at to-go windows throughout the busy arrondisements of Paris.
