France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

A secret place for reflection and sweet treats! on the Left Bank
“My friend, let’s not think of tomorrow, but let’s enjoy this fleeting moment of life” – Omar Khayyam
The traditional architecture and romantic courtyard of the famous Paris Mosque make this the perfect spot to relax with a hot drink after an afternoon promenade in the nearby Natural History Museum or Jardin des Plantes. Enjoy sweet mint tea and flaky pastries laced with honey in an authentic Moorish-style cafe on the grounds of this famous Paris mosque.
You may just want to spend the whole evening here, enjoying couscous (vegetarian, chicken, or merguez sausage) while the sun goes down.
