Wellness is a topic I don't cover enough in Paris. But there are actually a few things I do to go back to myself and regenerate that I want to share with you guys. Maybe you remember this article I already wrote on Charme D'orient a few years ago - so you know what they say about repeat business - it must be great. One of the best spas in Paris close to republic metro and a stone's throw from the trendy hood in Marais is Charme D'orient. To me, wellness is so important and should never[...]
Paris has some of the best spas you'll find in the world and Charme D'orient is a little gem that has been recently added to the capitals jewels.

A cozy little bar opened up on a street corner somewhere in the Goncourt / Belleville Paris neighborhood recently called L'Orillon Bar. Go for the cheap beer and wine at 2.50 Euros, stay for easy-going atmosphere of friends dining on mismatched plates and laughter everywhere.

I've long heard of and walked passed this little glass wall resto at 131 avenue Parmentier, in the 11th arrondissement, so many times.
