There are so many nice places in paris – here are just some I came across…I stayed at www.mamashelter.com. In the hotel shop I bought my first espadrilles in at least 10 years, they are made in france and I like the bleu-blanc-rouge style… Next time I’ll give www.hidden-hotel.com a go. Paris is a wonderful place for strolling around and popping into nice restaurants, like the Petit Pontoise, or relaxing over a coffee, such as at www.merceandthemuse.com (many thanks to Nina who found this lovely place). I also stumbled across this great shop: http://shop.kitsune.fr. I hope next time the www.musee-picasso.fr has reopened…
