Contrary to the popular classic Coke Porter song Paris does'nt only sizzle in the summer, but after this long harsh winter that has blanketed this part of Europe, this summer is going to be a welcome treat for Parisians and for all of us who loves this city,  Whether its for a weekend tryst, a month long vacation or what ever reason you are in this city I have the skinny on some of the things that are gleaming in this city of lights.
For fine Arts lovers, the Musee D'Orsay museum with over 20 million dollars in renovations were designed to show case fine art in the best possible way. All of the walls are colored in vibrant bold colors and even the seating are built like spectacular artwork themselves.  There are three whole floors dedicated to the fine arts so art lovers that spend almost the entire day exploring.  The Musee D'Orsay is a famous Paris landmark,




Crazy horse Paris's famous cabaret show is celebrating its 60th birthday this year and to kick off this celebration will be putting on a new show called Desirs.  Guest at the Le Pavillion Des Lettres will be given VIP tickets to the show.  The hotel is located near the Elysee Palace just around the corner from Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore.  This hotel is a literary themed hotel with each of its 26 rooms representing a letter of the alphabet.

Paris is a fun city to shop and a place to spend some serious money in.  if you love fine watches you might want to check out Richemont in the old english building in Paris' charming La Madeline district.  This will be the largest store of its kind in the world.  Rumor has it that Hermes will also be opening a boutique on the Sevres.

After a day of some serious shopping a good massage or facial would be a relaxing and refreshing treat and I would recommend Le Bristol, a new spa by La Prarie. There are three level to this spa yet there is a cozy setting with an intimate feel with natural lighting and view overlooking the courtyard.

Paris is known for its fine food and drink and hotel concierges are schooled to know the best places to eat and drink.  One shining example is Saint James Paris where a chef on the staff can recommend the best places to find the best food and drink in the city.   For families with children I will recommend Hotel Fouquet Barriere.  This hotel offers kids program, including workshop and shows, family breakfast complementary soft drinks and a swimming pool


There is so much to do in Paris the possibilities are endless.  Happy exploring
