La Table d’Eugène
While it’s not necessarily news, I had been meaning to go to the French bistro La Table d’Eugène for some time now. Several friends had declared it to be the best restaurant in Montmartre, with good value for the money.

Where to Shop in Montmartre
The disorienting maze of streets winding around La Butte Montmartre is home to many a unique boutique—you just need to know where to look. Sidestep the tacky souvenir shops around Place du Tertre and Sacré Coeur unless you want to get ripped off for gaudy berets, I Heart Paris T-shirts and reproductions of classic Parisian... |

Staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Paris
Last summer I tried out the concept of staying at a bed-and-breakfast in Paris. I found the experience a bit odd. I researched and secured a lovely apartment, beautifully decorated and around the corner from the Musée Picasso in the Marais, which is a perfect... |

Girl Talk with Maeggie Mailliet
Maeggie Mailliet is a 30-year resident of Montmartre and a friend. She was born and raised in Switzerland but now considers herself a Parisian (almost). To me, she is the quintessential Parisian woman, an ideal I strive for. Charming, elegant, fashionable and very, very kind—oh, and did I mention... |
