Oh, beautiful Paris…

It’s not a new notion, Paris is beautiful, romantic, and has a wonderful touch of old-world that I don’t think is going away soon (which is for the best)! Recently my friend got me a great gift – “Taschen’s Paris ~ Hotels, Restaurants & Shops,” and what I love about it is the inside look it gives you to beautiful Paris. I think you’ll agree.

The above two images are from Hotel Saint Merry, (www.hotelmarais.com). It is right next to the church of Saint-Merry, from which it borrows it’s architecture and styling.

Beautifully French, a staircase in the Hotel Verneuil, (www.hotelverneuil.com) and a sweet bedroom above.

Got a sweet tooth? Honeys and jams abound at Les Ruchers du Roy. www.lesruchersduroy.com

More than 900 herbs are available at Grande Herboristerie Parisienne de la Place Clichy.
