My Rendezvous in Paris (Jan 08)

This was possibly a scandalous trip, gallavanting in Paris while being 5 months pregnant . I am glad that I did it! It is definitely easier to travel with baby in your womb rather than in a pram. Since that we were there for only 3 days, David's friend has written a special guide specially tailor made for us. It has got recommendation of good restaurants and museums which are not your typical tourist guide standards.

Highlights of the trip:-


  • Hours and hours of walk around Paris

  • Re-visit Shakespeare and Co, this little bookstore that I have chanced upon 8 years ago in Latin Quarter! I didn't know that it has been made famous by the movie starring Ethan Hawke called Before Sunset. My mate David is mad bout the film!


  • Food, lots and lots of French fare. Ate foie gras at every other meal. Found an excellent French restaurant which serves good duck breast and gigantic creme brulee. Yummy!

  • Went up Montmartre on foot, after all it's 130m high and quite a challenge for a preggie woman. And nothing has changed, still as touristy as ever.













Morning wet market which sells many types of cheeses, crepe, seafood, bread, hams etc.
