More like getting a case of Bollinger along with some bread & cheese, and having a picnic on the balcony between getting up and heading back to the sack.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do," (Cum Romanum venio...), is a very sage proverb.

Keep those great decadently elegant suggestions coming! Then, given your planned schedule, why not try a champagne bar for breakfast? I love the Parisian approach to champagne by which they (old and young) take it as a "normal" drink. There are several "easy" places (like the chain " Wine and Bubbl...

While Hediard and Ladurée are indeed very nice, we prefer the sweet delicacies at Pink Paradise @ 51 rue de Ponthieu. For the most part, except to hit some salons & stores for her and getting the taps on the Westons replaced, we don't intend to wake up until after stalwart locales such as Hediard an...

Pig's-Alley reminds of Time's Square during the Lindsay thru Koch years. Nevertheless thanks for the tip on the soirée dansante. Keep 'em coming.

Addendum reply to Alden in regards to: "But there is a bit of revolution in the air as some young men are wearing suits again and polishing their shoes." Yeh, those of us children of the sixties who got to spend the Reagan years in Northeast cities see the "Reagan Revolution" in sartorial rather tha...

"Your appointment book -among other things- calls for: ballet opening night at the Opera Garnier; your foundation´s gala fund raiser at the Musée d´Orsay; dinner with the US Ambassador at Le Meurice; baccarat at a clandestine bondesque casino; Ducasse´s birthday celebration at Plaza Athenée;" - NOT ...

We are crossing into the September of our years, and so, for a three week Parisian bacchanal in August, in order to celebrate a seminal birthday/seminal wedding anniversary/& long (long) overdue vacation: Is there any reason to pack a tux, and specifically anywhere to wear it for dinner/dancing & pa...
