a goat
Paris boasts
a small vineyard. The reputation of the Clos de Montmartre is such

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

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.

is more a lifestyle. The norm remains that good food is to be consumed
slowly in good company with a bottle of wine.
