[ Restaurant ] Bistrot Richelieu in Paris – 1th Arr.

The best way to experience French culture in Paris, except to visiting their traditional markets, just be sure to taste their local homemade dishes in bistro. For me, It’s absolutely impossible to have a meal in Michelin restaurants every time, due to my budget constraints, which dining at Bistro is definitely my first choice, especially the best way to learn about French food culture.

[ Local Market ] Marché Bastille in Paris.

When you come to Paris, where is the first place that you will go visit first? You probably will go to visit some famous attractions, such as Louvre, Notre Dame and Eiffel tower etc. And where is the first choose that you will go to shopping? I guess you will choose Lafayette or Printemps; however, my first choose will be the local market that is the easy way to experience local characteristic and lifestyle.

Beautiful Notre dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris is call Our Lady of Paris which means she has been one of the most enduring and symbolic monuments of the French capital and among the most celebrated cathedrals in Europe.

She is builded in 12th and 13th centuries, is considered one the world’s finest examples of gothic architecture, thanks to its pioneering use of rib vaults and flying buttresses, as well as its striking stained-glass rose windows.

[ Local Market ] 4 local markets that you have to visit

After come to Europe, I found every urban has a shopping street or department store such as Champs Avenue of Paris in France, Oxford Street of London in England, etc.., but these shopping avenues are high-priced boutique, sports brand or the hottest brand for now on the street.

Nonetheless those shopping street is not the most fascinating in the city which the local market is more attractive to me that you can observe the lives of local people and a little integrate to them in briefly way.

when I was in Paris the Marché Bastille is my favorite one; however, I think the Camden Market is my best choose in London this international city.
