Top 100 Things To Do In Paris
91 (99) Musee Cognacq-Jay
Musee Cognacq-Jay's 18th century art collection of french furniture
and paintings is worth a hour or two.
92 Musee Cernuschi
The Musee Cernuschi exists thanks to philanthropist
Henri Cernuschi (1820-1896)
If you are 'in to' Japanese and Chinese art this is
great chance to get your fill without having to forego your french
wine, cheese and pastries. Said to be the most important collection
ancient Chinese art in Europe.
93 Cafe Cafe
You should stop at a french cafe at least twice. Preferably
with someone who likes to talk. If you are on your own, look like
you want to talk, have your phrase book to hand and you never know.
Cafe Voltaire (1 place de l'Odeon) - where the philosopher
of the same name, Voltaire not Cafe, discussed the weather with
fellow philosopher Diderot. Ernest Hemingway was also a customer.
94 Memorial de la Deportation
The Memorial de la Deportation remembers the hundreds of thousands
of french citizens who died in German concentration camps in horrific
conditions during the second world war.
95 Jump like a goat
Paris boasts a small vineyard. The reputation of the Clos de Montmartre
is such that the wine is said to "make you jump like a goat".
Clearly gift material.
96 La Pagode
You'll find modern flicks, a french mix in a Japanese feel all
in the La Pagode in rue de Babylone.
La Pagode honours Japanese architecture without crossing the tacky
divide.
The Japanese gardens complete with tea rooms surround the building
and stimulate the intellectual debate:.
"that was a great movie"
"b%ll*&ks!". etc
97 Eat Chocolate
As any addict will tell you, arrrr....mmmm.. Words can't really
express a true chocolate moment. The Swiss, they say, have the best
chocolate, but in Paris, it is an art. Sold at chocolatiers all
over Paris, the presentation, selection and purchasing all add to
final explosion of taste.
98 Eat (Slow Food)
For many of us eating is an enjoyable experience. In Paris it is
more. This is more a lifestyle. The norm remains that good food
is to be consumed slowly in good company with a bottle of wine.
99 Musee d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaisme
Jewish history, museum of.
100 London
Catch the train and you will soon be in a nearby city with a very
different yet similar array of things to do. At least a hundred.
