Campervan Holiday Paris France, Paris, France

Paris is a paradise for art lovers. From the iconic works of the great masters to the latest trends in contemporary art, Museums and Galleries. Seven days in Paris with so many things to do, and so many things to see. It’s a walker’s delight, make sure that you have broken those new holiday shoes in. We don’t need any blisters here. We first went to Paris in the 90’s, staying in the Montmartre area near the Sacré-Cœur. I remember trying out my limited French while trying to find some food. I came back to the hotel room with a whole Rotisserie chicken, a French stick, a pat of butter plus coleslaw. No plates or knives and forks though.

I was working at a French restaurant in Southsea named L’escargot. It was based on a restaurant in Paris. Le Munich on Rue de Buci in the Saint-Germain area or the Left bank as it is also known. We managed to book a table at the restaurant.I wanted to see how they cooked and served their food. I also wanted to pick up some hints and tips to make our restaurant more French-authentic. Today it is another restaurant, just like the place in Southsea, it has another name and another use.

Our second and third visit to Paris was in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. We stayed in an Apart Hotel named Citadines. It was very near Les Halles Station. This is an amazing location as you are near the Louvre and the Pompidou Center. There is a food market outside the hotel in a square most evenings. Just a few minutes walk away are grocers bakeries and butchers if you want to self-cater. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
