Salon du Livre 2012 – Book Show 2012
Good news for those who will be in Paris between March 16th and 19th: The Salon du Livre 2012 (Book Show) opens its gates on the 16th, at the Porte de Versailles, at 10am…
This year’s highlight is the Japanese Literature!
As well, we assume that the latest electronic books will be presented… Even if, and this is a personal opinion of course, I get far more pleasure with a “real” book…

A few days left before this “can’t-miss-it” show reopens its doors!
This year, the Paris International Agricultural Show will take place from February 25th to March 4th…at the Porte de Versailles as usual (Line 12, direct line from the hotel).
Little Reminder of the festivities and the most interesting tracks:
- For the kids (with activities, animals discovery, tastes…)
- For those who like eating (the new flavours, the terroirs…)

Kids or Parents, the kind of event which is rarely disappointing…

Paris Porte de Versailles
1 place de la Porte de Versailles – 75015 Paris
Bouillon Racine: a good address in the Latin Quarter
20 minutes walking distance from the hotel !
This restaurant is one of the last traditional “Bouillons” (there used to be more than 250 in Paris in 1900) !
Created in 1906 by the Chartier brothers (cf. Bouillon Chartier), refurbished by the Compagnons du Devoir in 1996, the two floors in an Art Deco style are breathtaking!
Add up a warm welcome, various choice on the menu, delicious dishes from starters to desserts… for sure, you won’t be disappointed!
Bouillon Racine – Opening everyday from noon to 11pm
3 rue Racine – Paris 6e – Tel. : +33 (0)1 44 32 15 60
Chandeleur: D-6
Yeepee, we’ll soon have “La Chandeleur”!
Either called candlemas or Pancakes day (but was replaced groundhog day in some countries… What a shame, groundhogs are cute but I prefer pancakes by far !).
As we love them, we want to share with you and will celebrate on thursday February 2nd at 10am… So if you sleep at the hotel, don’t hesitate to join us for a “crepe-flipping” party (prosperity symbol for the coming year it is said, so just in case…) and taste them.
Versailles
When we say Versailles, we think Castle…
True, it is a must!
But you could also discover many other things in Versailles:
- The Royal Fireworks
- The Gardens and Fountains Show
- The Operas and Ballets
Don’t hesitate to check their website (www.chateauversailles-spectacles.fr) for more information, and enjoy all the magic of Versailles…
L’Atelier des Gâteaux
If – like us – you are fond of pastries, then you can’t miss L’Atelier des Gâteaux (the Pastries Workshop): it’s just across the street!
It’s an unusual tea room as you can also take lessons there…At this time of the year, it would be a shame not to take advantage of Audrey’s advices to prepare all kind of sweet cakes! Macaroon, cupcake, cheesecake…
More info on their blog (in french!) : L’Atelier des Gâteaux
PS: Oh, one last thing: if you want us to volunteer to taste your creations, it will be with pleasure!
“Cézanne et Paris” Exhibition
Wonderful exhibition on Cézanne at the Luxembourg Museum (Musée du Luxembourg).
10 minutes walk from the hotel only… would be a shame to miss it!

Be careful, this ends on Feb. 26th!
