First Time in Paris Trip Report, Episode 358

<p>For this first time in Paris trip report, Annie Sargent talks to Joni and Steve Goldin. They had booked an <a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/itineraryplanning/">itinerary review with Annie</a>, so they were better prepared than most. But they still made a few minor mistakes as we discuss.</p> <p>Annie was a guest on the podcast FranceFormation, a show for people who want to move to France. <a href= "https://www.yourfranceformation.com/2021/10/06/episode-12/">Take a listen!</a></p> <h2>Hotel Recommendation</h2> <p>They chose the <a href= "https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/da-vinci.en.html?aid=954523&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Da Vinci Hotel</a>. A little boutique hotel in Saint Germain on Rue des Saint Pères that they recommend.</p> <p>Generally they went back to their hotel in the middle of the day to rest up a little which allowed them to stay up later and eat later. This is a good strategy if your hotel (like theirs) is centrally located.</p> <h2><a href="https://voicemap.me/authors/annie-sargent">Annie's VoiceMap Tours they Took</a></h2> <p>Ile de la Cité on their first day, Saint Germain des Prés a few days later and Montmartre towards the end. <a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/audiotours/">Podcast listeners can buy these tours at an amazing low price here</a>.</p> <h2>Restaurant Recommendations</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.lesantiquaires.net/">Les Antiquaires</a>, great Parisian café for sitting outside and people-watching.</li> <li>La Place Royale on Place des Vosges.</li> <li>Bouillon Racine on rue Racine.</li> <li>Robert & Louise in the Marais (Joni loved the honey roasted duck breast)</li> </ul> <p>Full <a href="https://joinusinfrance.com/358" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show notes</a> for this episode are here: https://joinusinfrance.com/358</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/JoinUs" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Patreon</a> | <a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/boutique/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Boutique</a> |
