  • The hidden kitchen experience in Paris

    “The Hidden kitchen” is a real life Delicacy experience customized for gourmet pallets by two adopted American chefs in the city of lights; Laura & Braden – who happen to be husband and wife and Paris lovers and connoisseurs.
    Here is a little comment by Chocolate and Zucchini which happens to be one of my favorite food blog
    “…each dish [was] tastefully plated, well balanced, and clean-flavored, projecting an energy that, to me, epitomizes contemporary American cuisine.”
    and hipparis.com another of my Parisian reference about great tips on original things to do this weekend in Paris, or the weekend after?
    “Expertly run by an American couple, the food has a definite US slant, nevertheless, this was one of the best meals I have had in over 16 years of fooding in Paris.”

  • Paris, the city of lights

    It is said that Paris is the most romantic city in the world to tie the knot. If you were married in Paris, so already have tied the knot a little while back, you know it’s the only place to choose for renewing your vows. It is not easy to get married in Paris though because of a few legal obligations, so for starters it is the dream place on earth to propose to your loved one though.

    No matter in which season you visit Paris, it’s the perfect city to stroll hand in hand. In a day, it’s easy to wander the entire Rive Droite or Rive Gauche (right and left banks) of the River Seine. This is our favorite destination for a pre wedding portrait session actually. Historic Pont Neuf and the adjoining little square du Vert Galant is said to be where “sweethearts love to linger” so join in, come and visit and linger a while. French kissing is a must in Paris.
    The city is quintessentially romantic.
    We would love to help you out with planning an intimate event, a proposal, diner for two, renewing your vows … and more!
