Hot croissant from the oven at the Patisserie + Boulangerie around the corner from our hotel. Delicious. Mmmm the concentration - important not to drop a crumb of this croissant. So beautiful. Hot from the oven and burning your mouth but so amazing. Buttery. Flaky.
Riding the Velib through the streets of Paris. In particular riding home from the club late at night with a few drinks. The streets of Paris quiet.
The beautiful spring-time streets and gardens of Paris.
St Michel's Chapel. Remarkable. Must be seen. The most beautiful stained glass windows.
The Conciergerie - to take you back to the middle ages.

Dinner at Ave Maria - quirky ?hippie place near Oberkampf station. Mixed cuisine. Not French. Delicious food.
Moulin rouge. Strange. Tacky. Super fun :) Terrible dancing. Terrible choreography. Average food. Still good.
Opera at the Bastille. Not so fun - can't speak French or Italian so the French subtitles weren't useful. So sleepy. Actually fell asleep during it. Shall I have not included this in highlights?
Wandering through the Marais. Beautiful shopping and many Boulangerie. Need much more time here.

Markets on Boulevard Richard Lenoir (Bastille) on Sunday morning. What could beat freshly shucked oysters. 6 for 3 euros. Shucked in front of you with a good squeeze of lemon. Plenty of other beautiful fresh food. The cheeses were amazing.

Champagne region - Reims - gorgeous cathedral Notre Dame. Pommery - cave tour. Getting lost on the highways around Reims. This place deserves a few days to explore. The tackiness of Moet and Chandon - truly tacky. But fun to see!
