Naughty Paris

Miss Carolyn and I went out for a girly night on Wednesday near Place de la Madeleine. Unfortunately Le Passage Bar (part of Senderens Restaurant) was closed for a private event, so we went to to the "Le 30" Bar of Le Faubourg Hotel across the street from the Buddha Bar (with a long detour into the the sexy new Eclaireur boutique next door).

"Le 30" is a typical luxury hotel bar, low lit, big sofas in front of the fireplace (a roaring fire was going when we arrived), live pianist, decent drink list, quiet and not too smoky.

At the Park Hyatt Vendôme

Then we hopped over towards Place Vendôme to the Park Hyatt Vendôme's Pur'Grill Bar. This particular Hyatt is very sexy, all smooth limestone and dark statues, contemporary art, fireplaces open on both ends...the bar is nice and dark compared to the lobby, with black plush carpet and a low ceiling, upholstered armchair stools at the bar. A nice, discreet place where you can have a private conversation -- and actually be able to hear each other without anyone else hearing you! And you gotta love the statues...
