Ritz Hotel Paris and A French Afternoon Tea

Ritz Hotel Paris

Imagine feasting on a luxurious and delicious afternoon tea taken in surroundings reminiscent of the Belle Epoque period and in one of the most famous of all Parisian hotels. Sound wonderful? Well, read on about the Ritz Hotel Paris and their special "French-style teatime".

French-teatime is typically a teatime with petite cakes and bite sized morsels enjoyed late in the afternoon and in the company of friends and is associated with a genteel style of living so you can understand why the Ritz offers their own special French-teatime.

What To Do in 24 Hours in Paris in The Latin Quarter and Saint Germain

Saint Germain & The Latin Quarter in 24 Hours

Paris is made up of 20 departments or arrondissements and each one has its own unique style and vibe and they are divided into two major groups separated by the River Seine, the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) and the Right Bank (Rive Droite).

Deciding where to spend your time in Paris can be a difficult choice at any time and especially if you only have 24 hours to spend in the City of Light. One arrondissement that never fails to delight me is the Latin Quarter, and I'm not the only who loves this charming area. Helen Andreou of London Meets Paris Blog, writes how she loves "to wander off the predictable tourist traps because Paris is yours for the taking, it’ll mesmerise and seduce you until it has you firmly in its grip squeezing you tighter and tighter with each visit".
