Paris for the holidays with children.

Believe it or not taking your dog along to a three-star dinner is strangely more appropriate than bringing your little ones. Which why you may be thinking about a babysitter to watch the kids while you wine and dine. A very friendly, professional and bilingual service that we rely on is called Baby Prestige so that you can go out and enjoy yourself with a piece of mind. Baby Prestige, 7 rue Jean Goujan, 8th arr- ( 01-53-53-02-02). contact@baby-prestige.com

Best Ice creams in Paris.

You have probably heard about , have likely even tasted the ice creams and sorbets from the Berthillon shop on the Ile Saint Louis. Raymond Berthillon who passed away in August 2014 used only fresh and seasonal ingredients to make small batches of flavors like caramel , shot through with creamy ribbons of the stuff, and pale green pistachio, crammed with chunks of crisps, fresh nuts.

Another place to check out is Damman’s a tasteful tearoom and Glacier, where star flavors include Bulgarian yogurt,  spice bread ( pain epice), tiramisu and salted- butter caramel.

Berthillon. 31 rue saint Louis en l’ile, 4th arr. ( 01-43-54-31-61).

Guarding our spare moments.

” We must guard our spare moments”, a quote from Waldo Emerson.

Spare moments are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life. I the world we live in crammed schedules and busyness are often worn as a badge of honor. It is not uncommon to feel both confused and anxious when we have spare time. 

We need to slow down and enjoy every moment and take our leisure time seriously and enjoy a great vacation wherever we plan on escaping to, it is very good for the soul!.
