A Birthday In Paris
November 17th, 2001
My 20th In Paris!
A fun weekend with new friends
From a sip of the wine, I knew I was not in London anymore. The food was amazing and the people were very nice. We arrived safely into Paris on the Eurostar and situated ourselves into the 3-star hotel in Marais. It was quite a first night out as we met the Council representative for Paris and was treated to a traditional night out to the cafe’ for the Beaujolais de Noveau (the wine that comes out during November and is traditionally and culturally celebrated) and some froghmaghree, olives, and hors d’vours. Afterwards, the group decided to split up and eat dinner to suit their tastes. Sasha, Kit, Silvia, Alan (for a short period of time before he decided to leave us), and I had cruised Bastille in search for the perfect place to eat. After ten minutes of selecting the finest restaurants to fit our budget we discovered Bistrot Les Sans Culottes, a nice small and cheap, but really damn good French cuisine located in Bastille on 27 rue de Lappe. I highly recommend it if you are on a budget but need to eat a good 3-5 course meal.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
