A day in Paris<br />
LAURA LEFT HER HOMETOWN TO LIVE IN PARIS<br />
SHE’S NOW OUR GUIDE TO SOME NICE<br />
PLACES IN THIS <strong>MAG</strong>IC CITY<br />
Staring our day in Paris, we visit Montmartre.<br />
This neighbourhood, once quite bohemian,<br />
is now full of tourists (though it still hides<br />
some lovely places). We have breakfast at Milk.<br />
This small restaurant looks like a dollhouse, full<br />
of lovely objects and delicious jams! We then visit<br />
some quaint shops, such as the Marché Saint-<br />
Pierre (a building with lots of floors dedicated<br />
to selling precious fabrics). Inevitably we won’t<br />
leave without at least a few samples. The street<br />
is a paradise for those who love sewing, and has<br />
more fabric stores to browse. The next shop, Belle<br />
de Jour, is a gem. The luxurious perfume bottles<br />
are a dream! All beautifully painted and elegant,<br />
there’s many different shapes to chose from. Looking<br />
from the window you can admire the variety<br />
of bottles. Also, within the store, there’s a miniature<br />
of the facade.Most French restaurants close<br />
their kitchen after lunch, so if you’ve not eaten<br />
by 14:30, I recommend trying something different<br />
in Japantown. At the Aki Restaurant, the speciality<br />
is Okonomiyaki. It’s a dough with various<br />
ingredients (flour, egg, onion, mochi and cheese)<br />
eaten with a choice of meat, squid or vegetables,<br />
all grilled and served within a rich sauce.<br />
A dish that will fill us with energy to continue<br />
the ride! This neighbourhood is great for lovers<br />
of all things oriental. The library Book-Off is unmissable!<br />
Books, CDs, video games and Japanese<br />
films starting at two euros, a store to spend<br />
hours browsing. Totally recommended for lovers<br />
of manga and craft books. Also, for those who<br />
want to improve their French, their sister store is<br />
located opposite. There’s many museums in Paris<br />
worth visiting, one that’s highly recommended is<br />
the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Found in the first<br />
quarter, it’s part of the building of the Louvre. A<br />
great place to wander, its rooms are filled with<br />
antique furniture, tableware and hosts an entire<br />
collection of iconic design objects. If you still<br />
have time in the afternoon, we can visit the familiar<br />
tenth quarter, and, weather permitting, we<br />
