Paris Love.. guest post: Sharon from My French Country Home

Sharon is so sweet and has so wonderfully opened her home to us when we are in France during this trip.  She is also sweet enough to share some of her favorites from Paris with you!

A big thank you to Christina for asking me to guest post for her while she ............ comes to visit me!!! YAY, 
OK not only me, there is also that little detail called Paris, but I am so pleased to meet Christina and her family.

Christina has asked me about my special places in Paris.  I chose a place to live , a place to eat and a place to shop ....

Before we had any children we lived in the heart of St Germain on the magical Place Fustenberg, and this little square will always hold a special place in my heart.

Tiny,  perfectly situated, it has the sort of elite feel to it as if living there made you automatically part of some wonderful private club.





My favourite place to eat?  Of course there are SO many wonderful little bistrots and restaurants in Paris, I could actually provide a long list.  But my most memorable meal  was shared with my husband and our closest friends at La Méditerranée , fantastic setting, DIVINE food, romantic, elegant LOVE it.






And finally a special place to shop for .............. chocolates!

 

The amazing Debauve et Gallais, a 200 year old shop in Paris.  I don't know 
which is more spectacular, the 'finesse' and flavour of the chocolates, 
or the wonderful wonderful packaging.






I adore the perfect jewel like chocolates.  This is the only place I have ever
been offered food decorated with real gold leaf !!




Thank you Christina, I like to think that you may check out some of these addresses while you are in Paris this week!

Indeed Paris is a lovely place to take a visit and unwind. Not only foods and place but also a great place to take ideas for fashion and style.
