Hôtel Le Bristol, on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, is one of a handful of magnificent five star hotels in Paris that cater to a clientele of which I am not a member.  One or two drinks in the bar and then it’s back to my humble three star abode for the night.  I do, however,  have my wily ways of getting us in there for something in a “normal” person’s price range that is a bit out of the ordinary experience while visiting Paris.

 Fashion High Teas, held on select Saturdays throughout the year, invites locals and guests to The Bar at Le Bristol for a traditional afternoon high tea of pastries, finger sandwiches and desert, along with a choice of 15 teas (I would prefer a glass of wine, but, oh well) while models use this elegant backdrop as a catwalk to showcase the latest fashions for the current season by the best in the business.  Two upcoming shows that you might be in town for are Azzaro on May 24th and Emanuel Ungaro on June 28th.  Whether you like or even know who these designers are isn’t necessarily the point.  The fun part is just doing this.  An afternoon of feminine indulgence.  If you happen to be traveling with your hubby, leave him to his own devices and allow yourself the treat of surrounding yourself in all this luxury.  Heck, I occasionally leave my husband at home in the states.  You could at least part ways for about 2 hours;-)
