All is swell in Paris

Paris in November: Cold,foggy and less tourists! Seriously, this time of the year is a delight because the weather adds a certain aura to the city of ligths. Yesterday we went to out to eat brunch at "Le comptoir Paris-Marrakesh". Great vibe, impeccable decor, eclectic menu and not too chic guests. If you have time to kill on a Sunday in Paris, why not go for a mixture of French and North-African cuisine? And the prices are not too steep either. "Le Comptoir Paris-Marrakesh" is situated just close to Les Halles, in walking distance from major attractions such as the Louvre. After the brunch, we went across to the Left bank and walked all over Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter. The fresh air sure did us good. Don´t be surprised if you´re strolling alongside the Seine on a Sunday afternoon and encounter a hoard of rollerblading Parisians. Apparently every Friday and Sunday the natives take to their blades ,form a large mass and head off on to the boulevards. The whole event is carefully watched by police and medical personel and normal traffic halts while the swarm of blading people pass by. Quite an impressive sight!
