This luxe department store goes above and beyond to give customers the royal treatment from the moment they walk in. Translators, guest lounges - Japanese tourists get their own - a deluxe grocery and even private weekly fashion shows make clear that this is no ordinary mall. But by far my most favorite luxury is the domed ceiling, a resplendant ...

As usual, every first sunday of each month, you get free entry to the main museums of Paris; The Louvre, Centre Pompidou, and Musee d'Orsay.

This month I took the opportunity to go to Musee d'Orsay after at least 6 months from the last time I went there. This place used to be a train station until it was turned into what it is today. The place ...

Much as I adore the Louvre and the arts in it, I sometimes get tired of the number of people there, queueing, taking photos, walking, etc, etc. Especially in a busy city like Paris, there are times where you want peace but really can't find a place without a throng of other people.

For everyone who has seen Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, I hope that you still remember the blooming jasmin tea she was serving her brother the Emperor of Austria. She says that it is from China- it really is- only it is now available for us non-royals at one of my favourite tea salons Mariage Freres.
Usually when I go there to be arch ...

A stroll through the supermarkets of one's host country is one of the great pleasures of traveling abroad. The shelves and displays of produce, meats, snacks and other products give a sound introduction to the tastes and delicacies of a culture while providing a host of opportunities to marvel at exotic local foods. At Monoprix, a wonderous one-stop shop that sells cosmetics, ...

Paris is a cosmopolitan city. Despite the uniformed style buildings of the Haussmannien Era, you may also find other great architectural designs from all over the world, from a sino-japanese pagoda to a muslim mosque.

La Grande Mosquee is one of the greatest examples. Built in the mid 20's to thank the Muslims people who helped fight with the Germans in the World War I.  Most ...
