Paris Springtime Inside & Out Published on: 2009-03-25 Museum March 21st, 2009 Ah, the sun is out, the daffodils are in bloom, and the gardens of Paris are finally recovering from the cold and soggy winter. Celebrate the season with a trip to one of the oldest gardens in Paris, the Jardin des Plantes, where the famous botanical illustrations (or vélins) of Pierre-Joseph Redouté are on exhibit in Le Cabinet d'Histoire. Over 500 of the artists floral paintings, watercolors, prints and drawings - all in magnificent condition - date back to the early 1800s. Les Vélins de Redouté is open daily except Tuesday, through April 27 (entry 3). Source: theparisblog.com Les Papilles Published on: 2009-01-02 Restaurant Closer even than Luxembourg Park or the Pantheon, it's Les Papilles. With its casual atmosphere it really seems like a genuine, Parisian bistro. Upon entering, you'll be surprised by the many bottles of wine arranged all along one of the walls. Yes, this is a place where you can drop in for some wine, an appetizer, or an after dinner snack and even take it with you if you'd like. In addition to standards like salads, foie gras, and escargot, they also serve a daily special made with fresh ingredients purchased right there in town. (At night, only the meal is available.) During my visit, I had the cold pea soup as an appetizer. Dishing other ingredients into your own soup can actually be a lot of fun. It's interesting to see how the different ingredients used, like poached eggs, croutons, and radishes, and their varying textures, can change the whole meal. For the entrée, out came a big pot filled with a giant roasted duck. The duck is great, but even better are all of the perfectly crisp vegetables with it. And finally, dessert was panna cotta. With hearty enough portions to fill you up, this is an address where you can enjoy fine dining at ease.
