flygirl, the spectacular bathroom on Rue Dauphine was just as functional as it was breathtaking! It was a very happy week there for me. Septime was wonderful - I also don't remember everything I ate, but do remember the venison. It was a wonderful first dinner to kick off my trip. I did not make the dinner at Frenchie on this trip, but had been on a previous trip and prefer Septime as well. I think the dining theme for the entire trip is "when in doubt, there were scallops :-)

So enjoying reliving the trip through your report.

Glad you enjoyed Septime. It was our favorite from last December. Looking forward to the next installment.

Grr! I had a new installment half written yesterday.. went to sleep without saving it.. and fodors logged me out overnight which deleted the whole thing. Whimper.

Here is a teaser, photos of just Reims Cathedral, nothing else:

Lisa, good to hear that the bathroom was a delight to use!

I found the link for the photos for this particular apartment, check it out folks. Look at that huge bathroom!

Patty, I saw your restaurant list - wow, if Septime was your favorite, it was in good company! I had hoped to visit "Un Dimanche a Paris" for hot chocolate one morning but I spent so much time wandering I couldn't fit it in along with the exhibit I hoped to see, too.

Oh, how frustrating!! Sorry that happened, flygirl.

Lisa did enjoy the huge bathroom....I prefer a walk-in shower to a bathtub and she benefited in this case!

Great photos and a wonderful report. I've bookmarked that apartment. Looks like something I might be interested in...thanks.

Even though I've been to Paris many times and visited a lot of the places you've listed, I feel like I've missed so much after reading your report!

I have to go back soon.
