Winter days are here to stay. The city is ready for Christmas, gift shopping is an ongoing affair, we’re all searching for more indoor activities to keep us busy since the temperature is close to 0°C everyday.
Just arrived home from the theatre, where I saw stunning Monica Bellucci giving voice to the letters of Maria Callas at Studio Marigny and spent the rest of night continuing to listen to the songs of Maria Callas.
As there are a few days of the year left, here are a few ideas on how to spend them while in Paris…
Try a new restaurant: Drouant
“Celebrating a seasonal cuisine and favoring local ingredients, guests can discover langoustines with raviolis in a citrus and lemongrass butter, a beautiful white steamed cod with seaweed tartar, scallops dressed in a thin layer of caramelized Parmesan cheese. As for dessert, the menu includes a soft meringue or a gourmet chocolate souffle. Reinventing the classic of French gastronomy with a great finesse, the menu is accompanies by a selection of more than 2000 wine recommendations.” ―Vogue

Have a jazzy Sunday night at Bar Joséphine
“From the 1920s, and later after the Second World War, Lutetia was the place to be for intellectuals and the greatest artists from all over the world. Today, after an impressive renovation carried out by the architects Jean Michel Wilmotte and Alain-Charles Perrot, the establishment is reviving the jazzy spirit of the Left Bank.” ―Luxe Magazine
