On Friday evening I returned from a fantastic trip to Paris for 8 days, and this is not to tell you about the trip but more importantly the person who set up my trip, found my hotel, set up trips to museums, and even the car service to and from the airport. His name is Terrance and he has a website which is www.paris-expat.com and he also puts out a newsletters with what is happening in Paris and the surrounding area.  He is a former “New Yawker” and spent a lot of time in Brooklyn and now makes Paris his home.
 
One of the best points is his walking tour of Paris.  He introduces you to cafe owners, and makes certain you see everything you wanted to see and more.  He is well known for spending his Sunday afternoons at the Cafe Flore on Blvd St Germain; and has has also written a book, which is titled, “From Bagels to Brioches”.  After being there for 8 days I can see why he lives there and is loving it.
 
If you are thinking of going to Paris and the surrounding areas; you can not find anyone better to set up your hotels, fine dinners, wine tastings, and other excursions.
Please pass this on and I get nothing for writing with the exception my dream trip came true and it was fantastic!!
Best regards,

-Brian (O’Leary)

Bistros

No one should have a bad meal in Paris! Whether a 2-star restaurant or a local bistro there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix– relationship between price and quality. At my favorites you will be treated as a regular and have a satisfying experience. Just tell them  “Terrance sent you.”
