Paris, Paris...

February in Paris, cold and rainy... but beautiful all the same!

February is the month of the Winter Holidays and French ski areas and resorts, such as Courchevel (the St. Tropez of the snow) are full of people... it seems that there's a lot of snow this year! 

And for those who stay in town, as myself, there's plenty to do too. 

To begin with, many exhibitions in museums and galleries. And then, there's the many charming and unique restaurants, such as the one at the Hotel Costes, or L'Avenue, or the old Stresa, or Al Dente and, why not, the lovely Brasserie Lipp, at St. Germain, a classic. And to have the best foie gras in all Paris, L'Ami Louis. I do go often, but I usually ask for the grilled chicken... a pity, really. In all those nice places you feel like home, which is just what you need in winter, when it's cold and grey outside.

Another thing to do, of course, is going to the cinema. There are plenty of new movies now and it's best to go see them on the theaters around Champs-Elyseé.

Today, for instance, I went to see "A serious man," directed by the Cohen brothers. An exceptional film about the Jewish religion and the many questions Larry, the main character, poses to three Rabi unable to answer him. 

It's worth seeing it, with its black humor and all...

Have a good night sleep!
