Concert at Saint Roch church

Eglise Saint-Roch - Paris
296 rue Saint Honoré
75001 Paris
Metro : Pyramides (lines 7 & 14)
Given by the association PIACER’CANTO
On Tuesday November 22nd we assisted to an excellent concert given at Saint Sulpice church (Paris 06) “La Grande Messe en Ut mineur” (Mozart). There were almost a hundred of choir members, 4 soloist singers all under the direction of Henry Didot. An evening plenty of emotion! A moment of real pleasure!
And it was even better as the Saint Sulpice church restoration-works are finished and we could appreciate its majestic architecture.
If you want to appreciate a concert in a French church you can go to Saint Roch church (Paris 01) where this concert will be given a second time on November 25nd and 29th. Entrance fare : 25€.
You can book on the association website.

Restaurant Rollet Paradier - Traiteur

6, rue de Bourgogne
75007 Paris
Métro : Assemblée Nationale (ligne 12) Invalides (ligne 8 et 13)

As there are quite fiew restaurants near Assemblée Nationale we finally arrived at Rollet Pradier Restaurant which is located just behind the building. In fact Rollet Pradier is a Traiteur, but they have this restaurant at the first floor of the building.
It’s a quite small restaurant, but we did not have to wait and could seat. The decoration in white colors made us feel more relaxed. The waiting is a bit long but the waiters were all very polite and nice and the food (also expensive) is so delicious that you forget the rest.

Restaurant Carpe Diem

21 RUE DES HALLES
75001 PARIS
Metro: Les Hales (line 1 and RER A, B and D)
Tel : 01 42 21 02 01

To be honest, the view is not great as there are some works in front of the restaurant. But it is located in the heart of Paris and the waitress is very nice and very dedicated to her job, that’s why I went there many times. Downstairs, there is a lounge if you want to receive your colleagues, friends, etc, etc. The food was delicious, worldwilde cuisine as the Mojitos. So if you are near the Halles area, you can try this restaurant, it’s worth it.
