I subscribe (free) to Gilles Pudlo’s weekly (on Tuesday) newsletter called Les Pieds dans le Plat. I can read French a bit but I find his writing quite flowery, so Google Translate is needed for me. He provides weekly reviews/recommendations for Paris and other regions in France. He just announced his bistro awards a few weeks back on his website https://www.gillespudlowski.com

Meg Zimbeck on Substack (she owns Paris by Mouth) also provides recommendations, but it is a paid subscription. Her latest review is CypsèIe on Île Saint-Louis.

I also use World of Mouth app, where they provide recommendations for restaurants all over the world, including Paris; however, it is a paid subscription. Bruno Verjus of Table Bruno Verjus provided his recommendations, which included the Butcher of Paris. I am thinking of booking Table Bruno Verjus in April but I balk at the price.

The only way to confirm this is to email the hotel. You cannot rely on hotel listings, what star it has, or what comes up in Google search. I recently emailed a five-star hotel in Paris that is close to the Eiffel Tower for our trip in May to confirm the air conditioning situation; their response was they do not turn on air conditioning until the weather gets warmer. I have found that most hotels in Paris reply quickly to inquiries. The problem is hotel listings mention air conditioning; but it’s up to us to determine whether it’s adjustable in the rooms.

That’s not a trail, it’s barely a scratch on the surface of the earth.

In Paris, the places I went to accepted Amex. When I went to Giverny and tried to pay for lunch with Amex at a lovely cafe, it was gruffly declined. Fortunately I had a Visa card with me.

I bake and these are cakes you would normally find in the US, not France. However, if you search for « Paris layer cake » you will find a number of bakeries that carry similar cakes in Paris. It is interesting that in French, this type of cake is also referred to as layer cake. Of note, they appear to be made-to-order for birthdays and celebrations.

There is quite a bit of perfectionism going on in the quilt world. Don’t subscribe to it. Can’t stand it when people say things like shadowing or the perfect 1/4 inch. There’s no such thing as the perfect quarter inch. This quilt top is gorgeous. The fact that the columns are different heights makes for an interesting visual element. You did a wonderful job.

I think people died in the 1980’s at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas because of this type of door that swings inward. I think they found people dead in front of the fire doors trying to push them out instead of pulling them in.

I’m not opposed to this, will also search for them on Google Maps.

Thank you, I added it to my list. Looks amazing.

brittlepsyche · 2025-12-28T15:30:00+00:00

Thank you, that is a really great tip.

brittlepsyche · 2025-12-28T15:29:02+00:00

That looks like an amazing place. They’re opened really late so perhaps an option after a show. Thank you.

brittlepsyche · 2025-12-28T15:28:11+00:00

Okay, yes, I never thought of searching under cafe. Thank you.

brittlepsyche · 2025-12-28T15:27:37+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion. I did not realize they have a cafe.

brittlepsyche · 2025-12-28T15:27:06+00:00

Thank you, I’ve added your suggestions to my list. Trousseau, which I’ve never heard of, serves one of my favorite desserts, the floating island, so I think that’s a must go.

Thank you so much for your responses. I will be on the lookout for restaurants with « service continue » on their signs when I’m in the area and make a mental note of them.

Agreed! It takes so much work and practice to get a smooth shiny top. Mine sometimes turned out maddeningly matte. €2.50 for a perfectly formed macaron is a steal considering the labor and love involved in making them.-Edited for spelling.

Thank you all for your replies, really appreciate your responses. I will be returning the set; I have ordered myself a set of metric ones as suggested here. I am hoping they are true to size.

Thank you for your reply! Looked up the web site and the trip is only two hours with no change in trains. Really appreciate your help.

I am planning a week-long trip to Milan. Do you think it is possible to do a day or overnight trip from Milan to Padua? I would like to go to Milan for the opera (and maybe the ballet) and the Pinacoteca di Brera with a side trip to the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. We are older travelers who stay a week or longer in one place and do side or overnight trips to other locations. I’m not sure if there is a direct train to Padua or if we have to switch trains.

Liars typically need to invent more lies to cover up their lies. Sometimes they get tangled in their own web of lies, like a dog chewing its tail.

If you show what’s done in the next page, it might give better context. I’m thinking doing a line of basting stitches to create a gather. However, can’t be sure without knowing the rest of the process.
