Random Acts of Imagination

LIFE  LOVE  LAUGHTER 
We crave the special moments that make our precious travel time
​ most memorable and are willing to bend over backwards to get them.
​Even the best guidebooks and Michelin endorsements can't guarantee the monumental moments you hope for; ultimately it remains
​a game of chance when it comes to planning the perfect Paris visit.

Beautiful music, magical sunsets, revolutionary works of art ...
​Yes, most of us realize when life's best benchmarks touch our heart.
In Paris, we get the best food and wine, the best
architecture and the best, it seems, of just about everything.

​It's all at our fingertips yet every so often we're reminded that the
very best moments lie in the smallest details, particularly when
 we fall upon them by chance -- what I call random acts of imagination.

​It's true, any good wanderer can find a devil of a good time all over
the city -- and just when I think I know Paris like a cab driver, a new
treasure sneaks up and I wonder how the hell I missed it before. 
And I can't wait to take another shot at it soon.
​A recent find is what I'll define as the Saint-Georges
(metro) neighborhood in the 9th arrondissement.
​
Picture
​  Oh sure, everyone "knows" something of the 9th -- home to the
incomparable Palais Garnier and big department stores like
​ Galeries Lafayette and Printemps.
​
​But if that's all you recognize, oh boy, you're in for
​one whale of a surprise and more good times than you can count.
​Starting at pretty Place Saint-Georges, get ready for
something new and unmistakably endearing.
Picture
Honestly, I wasn't looking for something life changing,
just a little change of scenery. 
We all have our Paris favorites and our navigational signals tend to
focus on just a fraction of what's here and now in the city.
So there's no moment like the present to reach out and expand our horizons.

I study restaurant reviews before I get to Paris and had already settled
on a bistro located in the 9th called Le Bon Georges. 
Two of my favorite Paris food gurus, Alec Lobrano and David Lebovitz,
have heaped praise on this "good, honest food prepared by a staff who cares"*
so it sat near the top of my list -- offering a good reason to visit a new neighborhood.
*per David Lebovitz
 
​Since there are some 350+ museums in Paris, I calculated there
​was at least one within reach that had escaped my prior scrutiny.
  In fact, there are several good choices so I took the scientific approach
of eeny-meeny-miny-moe and selected Musée Gustave Moreau. 

Finally, I've read raves about the local market street rue des Martyrs
and thought what the heck -- it would make for a great day to visit all
three -- the market, the museum and the restaurant -- all logically located
within a stones' throw from picturesque Place Saint-George.
​
​So there you have it -- a reasonable itinerary focused on a new neighborhood,
​ a fresh playground for a traveler burning with curiosity about every corner of Paris.
​My game of chance was about to begin.

Rue des Martyrs is irresistible.
  Everything you've read about it is true and then some. 
Its enticing charm and seemingly unlimited choices of agreeable shops
 will tempt you into staying longer than you had planned.
 
This is a street filled with real people and anyone with even the most
modest sense of imagination will appreciate the atmosphere that manages
to be both laid back and bustling all in the same breath.

​Treat yourself to at least an hour or two of nipping from one store to the next. 
Patisseries and chocolate shops for starters (I ate my weight in chocolate and caramels at mouth-watering Henri Le Roux) and don't miss the chance
to mix with the locals in any one of the marchés bio or wine shops.
  Or if you prefer regional specialties, there's one for the Corsican in you --
Terra Corsa -- where you'll pause just long enough for the camera
 to say "charcuterie"... or perhaps you'll elect to have a waffle snack
 from our friends to the north at Le Comptoir Belge.

​Most of us know the martyrdom of Saint-Denis who walked headless to the
butte of Montmartre, likely the namesake of this particular street.
  I, too, lost my head in this foodie wonderland though I doubt
​I'll gain sainthood for my efforts.

​Rue des Martyrs, thank you.
​  I'll be back -- and I'd wager a bet, so will you.

​ Musée Gustave Moreau wasn't very high on my very long
blueprint of "must-do" museums -- but it should have been.
​It's unusual in every way.

  Established by the artist while he was still alive,
Moreau's townhouse, finely turned out and offered to the French state
as a museum in 1897, was at first refused! 
Filled-to-the-brim, the three tiered mansion displays thousands of paintings
and drawings as well as a nice selection of sculpture and furniture.

​  Dubbed a "symbolist" painter, Gustave Moreau's heyday was the
 very time Impressionists were making their influence felt throughout the world.
 Pseudo-religious creative wasn't exactly on the tip of every art dealer's
tongue but his distinctly haunting appeal couldn't be denied.
  Friends Edward Manet and Edgar Degas may or may not have appreciated
his uniqueness but his soon-to-be-famous student, Henri Matisse, clearly
​became a disciple of some of his more universal expressions.
Aren't we fortunate to live in a time where we can enjoy both sides of the easel?

​Still, Moreau's one man art movement, characterized by mythical women,
surreal fairies, biblical angels and scary beasts, offer art lovers the
chance to be seduced by this atypical religious art. 
I was surprised how much I enjoyed his work.

​It doesn't hurt that we get to peek inside his home and studio, 
inspiring a personal connection to this particular 19th century artist.
Picture
I like to imagine Gustave Moreau's pretty flight of steps 
​influenced Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". 
The setting is appropriate, don't you think?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Unicorns, maidens in distress and even Leda and the Swan don't exactly
make for popular art, but no matter your particular style preference,
​ you're sure to enjoy a look into the imaginative world of Gustave Moreau.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
My whole reason for stepping off the metro at Place Saint-Georges
was for the chance to dine at Le Bon Georges.
  Animated, agreeable -- I'd go so far to call it buoyant -- the setting is marvelous. 

The food is tops, a lovely mix of french favorites that made us feel we were 
dining on grandmere's recipes made with haute cuisine expertise.
  By the end of the meal, we felt comfortable and contented,
​the ultimate quest of a traveler who lives to dine.

 Chatted up by the table both to the left and to the right of us,
the subject was mostly food and raves for the chef.
  Girolles to start, beef tartare, salad and rice pudding to finish -- all
created with top-notch ingredients and a sure hand. 
Classic bistro fare.

​Le Bon Georges felt like an instant neighborhood favorite even though
this was my first time visit to both the restaurant and the neighborhood. 

Come to think of it, this joyful bistro and the
Saint-Georges neighborhood mirror one another perfectly.
​Don't miss it!

Picture
Picture
When life sometimes hands us lemons, we can't always make lemonade. 
But when we're lucky enough to be in Paris, sometimes it seems
   we get the lemonade along with the whole blooming orchard. 


​Greedy travelers that we are, we constantly look for more.
  That's why, when it comes to my favorite city in the world,
I keep hoping for a mulligan -- as they say in golf -- a do-over.
  No, not because I took a bad shot or landed in the woods -- rather,
I hope to replicate the feeling and the magic of the last trip,
 keeping a sharp eye out seeking both new and old fireworks.

Life Love Laughter -- It's all there.
​Random acts of imagination bear fruit and we grow with each and every step we take.
​This is the Paris of our dreams and positive proof you can't have a bad day in Paris.
Picture
Picture
Get creative!
Your flights of fantasy offer the best opportunity to see the real Paris.
​It's a game of chance worth playing.

Enjoy the view!

Falling for Paris

10/28/2016

11 Comments

 
Picture
Like so many before me, I fell hard for Paris
the moment I laid eyes on her many years ago.
  A wonderland chock-full of elegant avenues and quaint village-like streets,
it  felt like I had stepped into a storybook of kept promises and all things good. 
My wide-eyed fascination only continued to grow after years of
 inspecting and cherishing the many wonders of this famous city. 

Fresh off my latest visit, I can honestly say
I fell harder than ever for the City of Light.
 Literally. 
Face first.
​True, I fell head over heels in love with the City of Light many years ago
but this time, I tumbled nose-first in a plot of dirt in between
the tombstones of Montmartre Cemetery. 

​Splat.  My nose bled for three days.
  Half my face looked like steak tartare.
  And my poor sister, witness to the calamity, had to put up with the bloodbath
 that followed us all the way to Place Pigalle where we sought help from the
ever present wisdom of a French pharmacy.
   And yes, the pain, the gore, the forever altered sinus cavity
and commensurate worry was worth every single drop of sang rouge spilled by
 this American who will never say never for a chance to live la vie Parisienne.

​Under the best of circumstances, Paris will put on a smile on anyone's face.
  Under the worst of circumstances -- when the gods above fail to smile down
on your dream trip -- I can now unhesitatingly assure you --
Paris will paint a grin back on your face -- welts and all!
Picture
But enough about my boo-boos.
  Let's talk Paris.
  What is it about Paris that makes us never call it quits come
rain, shine, empty wallet or broken noses?

 Admittedly, at home, we may have just thrown in the towel and called it a day. 
​But Paris never fails to inspire, allowing us to pick ourselves back up and start fresh, picking up steam as we go, doggedly insisting that lady luck is back on our side
​ no matter what -- weather, politics, ego, two left feet be damned!

​So here's just a preview of how I "convalesced" during my dramatic episode in Paris.
Picture
Every girl deserves a bouquet or two when she's not feeling her prettiest.
​And you just can't beat the arrangements at Marché President Wilson.
​A true gem of the 16th arrondissement, it's the place to make fresh start!
​
​  Close your eyes and smell the roses.
Picture
And don't forget the chocolate.
  Or in particularly dire circumstances, choose chocolate AND salted-butter caramels.
  We "tested" a few -- then a few more -- for medicinal purposes of course.... 
​Henri Le Roux is The Man in Paris for such sweet-salty cure-alls; after all,
the Breton native is given credit for inventing the Caramel au Beurre Salé.

This is the store on the wonderful and truly unforgettable rue des Martyrs. 
​Luckily for us, there are multiple outlets in the city so you can never
​roam too far from their remarkable and restorative "medication".
Picture
To make sure Madame Fortune was back in our corner , we made a pivotal stop
at the foot (literally) of Michel de Montaigne, 16th century French philosopher.  Students in the Latin Quarter rely on the trick of rubbing his left foot
for good luck during exams.

​I rely solely on scientific data like this when in recovery. 
​Just ask any student at La Sorbonne....
Picture
And just in case good luck isn't enough, I'd recommend getting your palm read
at the Museé des Arts Forain, one of the most magical outposts in the city.

  I can't wait to tell you more about our magical afternoon spent here.
​New blog to follow soon. 
Picture
Prayer always helps you feel warm and safe in any city. 
Luckily for us, in Paris, you can turn a corner of practically any street
to find a wonderful refuge -- and we discovered many new houses of worship.

​Remembering to say a private little thank you at the church of Saint-Médard
​was a must-do, particularly grateful for the chance to return to wonderful
rue Mouffetard in the 5th after a few years of missing its lively village-like
​ atmosphere where fat chickens roast and old men still wink at you.
Picture
Now unofficially the emblem for remembrance of Princess Diana's untimely death, the Flame of Liberty is a fine place to remember those less fortunate than yourself. 

​It's a good reminder that Paris is not a place to throw yourself a Pity Party.
​Celebrate life!
Picture
Speaking of celebrating life, the cheese plate at Astier in the 11th
would likely heal all the world's woes.
​
  Have no mercy -- Eat every lovely last bite!
Picture
Café Pouchkine in the 6th (other locations too) offers Russian-influenced
French pastries in an otherworldly atmosphere. 

I think even General Napoleon could have been swayed
to lay down his arms for this particular Russian.
Picture
A fully loaded bar ably run by nice people can help stem a few aches and pains. 

Viva la France!
 
Slowly building red blood cells....
​More cognac, please!
Picture
Basque.  Lamb.  Chops. 
Grateful to be alive at Dans les Landes on rue Monge in the 5th.
​
​Any more words are superfluous.
Picture
Snarfing a few bites of my sister's pumpkin soup is like finding love in a bowl.

 Genius Chef Christian Etchebest's Cantine du Troquet in the 14th
offers a step up from grandma's cooking.
When I win the lottery, I will return every week for Sunday lunch.
​That's a promise.

Picture
Wine will stop the whine every time. 
FRENCH WINE IS GOOD TO THE LAST DROP.
Picture
Stopping to inhale the beauty of fall in Luxembourg Gardens
beats hours of upkeep at the local beauty parlor.
  Nature's bounty is a natural remedy, reminding us that
​our own beauty/ego is nothing more than skin deep.
Picture
"The only thing we have to fear  is fear itself."
​President Franklin D. Roosevelt
​
Face-to-face in the courtyard of the University of Medicine, I stared down
​ The Statue of Death.
  Unafraid, I felt more alive than ever.
Picture

Time Well Spent means veering off the beaten path to discover
beautiful residential streets of Paris. 


From the gorgeous streets surrounding Square de Montsouris,
Square des Peupliers and Cité des Fleurs,
​we oohed and aahed our way through neighborhoods
​that made us long to lose ourselves in the fantasy of local life
.
​
​Though my unhappy nose may never look the same,
​ my nose for Paris local life has never been stronger.
Picture
No wonder doctors make house-calls in Paris. 
​ If I could walk through this door, I might be tempted to get my medical license.
Picture
If the cheese, the chocolate, the wine, the flowers, and the lamb chops
 aren't making you feel better by now, try the
I Love You Wall in Montmartre --  where you will be reminded
of the love in some 250 languages.

"It's midnight.  One half of Paris is making love to the other half."
​
dialogue from the 1939 film "Ninotchka"
Picture
Several stops at the pharmacy for the always amazing properties of
French plant-based creams and potions aided my afflicted face as
​well as my bruised ego.  
​
  Torment, agony, embarrassment are now gone with the wind -- ably
assisted by expert Paris pharmacists and powerful antioxidants.
​Prescription Paris is the only medicine I need.
Picture
Just in case you think I was terribly unlucky to have an accident in Paris,
here's the final proof you're wrong.

  As if dining at the wonderful Le Bon Georges in the lovely 9th arrondissement
isn't proof enough of good fortune, guess who sat at the table next to us?
​Oui, that's actor/comedian/writer extraordinaire Robert Wuhl who kindly kept us enthralled and entertained as we feasted on tiny fresh girolles, cooked-to-perfection beef, and homemade rice pudding. 
Robert was in town to celebrate his birthday and agreed that
Le Bon Georges is one unforgettable slice of Paris. 
Poor guy was stuck on the meatloaf side of my battered face,
but couldn't have been kinder.
​The inestimable power of making a new friend in Paris certifies
​ this life is as good as it gets.

​Lucky Lucky Me!
​I'm ready to fall for Paris any day of the week.
  You can cast that thought in bronze.

    Thanks for visiting  my blog!

    I've been experiencing the joys of Paris since the ripe old age of eleven.
    As a big fan of duck fat, raw oysters and bad French movies, my long career in advertising helped pave the way for drinking at lunch. When not living la vie en rose, my husband Gary and I live in Brentwood, TN, where we stay busy planning our next travel adventure and offering unsolicited advice to our daughter.
