Paris, France: A Lovely Weekend Break in January and a Night Out Exploring
Written by admin| 2 Comments »
As I mentioned in a previous post, I went to Paris the middle of January to meet with some France bloggers and website publishers I met through Twitter. Since we followed each other online it seemed like a good idea to meet. My Frenchman wasn’t working that weekend so he came along and we made a nice mini-vacation out of it. We stayed at a hotel we found through www.clickbed.com for 50 euros a night. The hotel was adequate but the best part about it was it had a music bar on the first floor which had live performers on Saturday nights, the night we were there. The music was certainly not on the level of the live music I used to hear in Los Angeles, but that wasn’t the goal. It was lovely just to hear some local Parisian music, complete with an accordian.
I was also successful in talking my Frenchman into eating at a Mexican restaurant (not bad but not like the great Mexican food in Los Angeles), as well as talking him into trying a Shisha Pipe (or Hookha in English). It was surprisingly smooth and good. Ours was Apple but you could order several different flavors. It was a bit sweet and didn’t have the harshness of cigarettes. I would recommend trying it – for laughs if for nothing else. My Frenchman became a bit of a performer during his try.

These are the things that add a touch of ‘local’ to a trip! Look’s like it was fun.
