My 12 Hours in Paris

12 Hours in Paris

There is no city like Paris, any time of the year.  So nice to be back for my 6th time this year.

Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme

The Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme is perfectly located in Paris just off of Place Vendôme in the 2nd arrondissement. Lovely small hotel, wonderful service and an outstanding Hyatt points value.

​

As usual, no Globalist upgrade today... but not a big deal as I was only had the room for 7 hours.

After a quick shower, off to lunch.   

Thru Place de la Concorde...

And across Champs-Élysées...

Le Jardin des Champs-Élysées...

To Yannick Alleno’s chic Michelin 1 star PavYllon restaurant, located just off the Champs-Élysées beside Le Petit Palais. 

Always fun to sit at the chef’s counter. Wonderful food, lovely wine and excellent service. 

Fabulous white octopus and poultry sausage.

Followed my the decadent puff pastry pie with wild duck and duck foie gras.  Out of this world.

And wonderful crème brûlée.

After lunch, a pleasant walk back to the Park Hyatt via Le Jardin des Tuileries.

With a short detour to Bar 228 at Le Meurice for the obligatory Whisky Sour.

And back to the Park Hyatt.
