My Guidebook for Paris
Shopping
Fragonard, renowned perfumer from Grasse (in the south of France), produces quality perfumes, colognes and soaps 100% natural, since 1926.
Everything is "made in France" and prices are very competitive, especially on perfumes (2 to 3 times cheaper than major brands of perfumes)

"This rustic-style auberge is a fitting embassy for the hearty fare of central France. An order of cured ham comes as two hefty, plate-filling slices, and the salad bowl is chock-full of green lentils cooked in goose fat, studded with bacon and shallots. The rôti d'agneau arrives as a pot of melting chunks of lamb in a rich, meaty sauce with a helping of tender white beans. Dishes arrive with the flagship aligot, the creamy, elastic mash-and-cheese concoction. Among the regional wines (Chanturgue, Boudes, Madargues), the fruity AOC Marcillac makes a worthy partner !"

Pozzetto is a small Italian ice cream maker who works exclusively with fresh ingredients . The Sicilian pistachio (dye free guaranteed !) and the Gianduja from Turin (a chocolate paste with hazelnut) are absolutely divine and if you like real coffee, you can't leave the shop without tasting an espresso or a cappuccino ... as good as in Italy !

Dating from 1409, the Tower of John the Fearless is a unique and historic place, in the heart of Paris. It houses many treasures, including some of the masterpieces of French Gothic art.
The Tower offers a rich rediscovery of the Middle Age and of the period of the Hundred Years War through its ruins, beautifully staged, and through a temporary exhibition that increase our knowledge.

Arts & Culture
Behind this somewhat mysterious name is hidden one of the capital’s most genuinely Parisian museums. Entirely renovated in 2021, the oldest of the municipal museums tells the story of Paris from a bygone era (a prehistoric dugout canoe dating from 4600 BC) to the present day, in all its immense variety.
