| Rue Cler's Au Nom de la Rose, Paris |
APRIL IN PARIS—We
both admitted that if we were on our honeymoon the microscopic bathroom and
one-person-at-a-time elevator in our hotel along Rue Cler would have been just
fine. Alas, after 28 years together, we
decided when Paris calls again, we’ll stay someplace with larger
facilities. But, Rue Cler for our week’s
stay this month was just fine.
Size-wise, small street (for fellow North Parkers), is the Ray Street of
Paris, but only two blocks longer.
We’ll come back for the flowers in a heart beat, especially
at Au Nom de la Rose and Les Floralies.
Both on Rue Cler in the 7th Arrondissement.
Rue Cler otherwise had so much to offer. Several small cafe’s you expect to find in
Paris, outdoor produce, a cheese and wine shop, several bakeries, a charcuterie
and those colorful flower stands near our hotel. Plus, what else made Rue Cler attractive was being
near the Eiffel Tower and none of our Parisian cabbies knew where it was
without checking their GPS.
Of course, there are countless more romantic rues in Paris,
but this one just outside out hotel worked fine for us.
