A weekend in the eighth
Forty-eight hours without leaving the arrondissement.
Words by Anton Weiss, Chef Concierge
The eighth arrondissement has a reputation for shopping and embassies. It also has some of the quietest gardens in the city, two of its best small museums and a market that has been running since 1868.
Saturday morning: the Marché Aguesseau, then coffee at the counter of a café whose name we would rather not print. Ask at the desk.
A good weekend in Paris is the one where you forget to take the Métro.
Anton Weiss, Chef Concierge
