I think you may be thinking of Scientology, that's a completely made up cult/religion that tons of celebs are into. Kabbalah stems from Judaism and has been around for centuries. But like you said everyone has their beliefs so whatever makes her happy.

Paris

 

When I was ten years old, my father and I took a trip to Paris, leaving my younger brother and mother in London where she was filming a movie. My dad believed in one-on-one time with us, and sometimes that extended to a weekend away. We stayed at a great hotel and he said I could order whatever I wanted for breakfast (French fries). We went to the Pompidou museum, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre - the usual spots. It was pretty great. On the plane back to London he asked me if I knew why we had gone, just he and I, to Paris for the weekend. I said no, but I felt so lucky for the trip. He said, “I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who would always love you, no matter what.” From that time on, Paris was and continues to be very special to me. I lived there for five months in 1994 and I have made many trips back. These are the places in Paris I stay and eat and toast my dad.

Love,

Places to Eat

 

l’Ami Louis

32, rue du Vertbois

3e

+33 1 48 87 77 48 There are two schools of thought regarding l’Ami Louis: one is that it is an overpriced place for tourists and the other is that it is one of the best, most venerable bistros in Paris. I am firmly in the school of the latter. It is small and wood paneled with an ancient oven and a sicko wine list. Every time I go, I see a former French president or the like, and I leave so full that I walk back to the hotel.

Le Voltaire

27, Quai Voltaire

7e

+33 1 42 61 17 49 Le Voltaire is a lovely place on the river with a lighter type of French fare (grapefruit and avocado salad). It is one of my favorite spots to go for lunch.

market.jpg Market

15, Avenue Matignon

8e

+33 1 56 43 40 90

www.jean-georges.com From superchef Jean-Georges, this restaurant serves Asian/nouvelle French cuisine done wonderfully and served in a clean, contemporary space.

Kinugawa

9, rue du Mont-Thabor

1e

+33 1 42 60 65 07

http://kinugawa-hanawa.com After a couple of days in Paris when I need to lay off the butter and goose fat, I head to Kinugawa for a Japanese lunch. After a lovely bowl of miso soup, some beautiful sashimi and a seaweed salad, I am ready to partake in all things French once more.

T’CHA La Maison de Thé

6, rue du Pont de Lodi

6e

+33 1 43 29 61 31 This is a little teahouse off the beaten track in the sixth arrondissement. It is a great place for a light lunch or a perfect cup of sencha.

Da Mimmo

39, Boulevard Magenta

10e

+33 1 42 06 44 47

www.damimmo.fr I was told about Da Mimmo a few years ago by one of my coolest, most in-the-know friends. It is rustic Italian, super simple, super good. There is a massive display of the day’s fresh antipasti in the center of the room and that’s the best part of the dinner. No tourists here.

Le Duc

243 Boulevard Raspail

14e

+33 1 43 20 96 30

http://leduc.abemadi.com Don’t let the nautically themed room put you off. The seafood is fresh and wonderful.

mariagefreres.jpg Mariage Frères

13, rue des Grands-Augustins

6e

+33 1 40 51 82 50

www.mariagefreres.com I absolutely adore this tearoom and shop. It’s perfect for afternoon tea and beautiful objects for the home. Don’t miss the famous Mariage Frères candles (the Darjeeling one is my fave).

Cinq-Mars

51, rue Verneuil

7e

+33 1 45 44 69 13 This place is the cozy, affordable, locals-only restaurant you always search for but never find when traveling. The food is simple but well prepared and it’s a nice break from the big, loud brasseries.

Joséphine Chez Dumonet

117, rue du Cherche-Midi

6e

+33 1 45 48 52 40 This old-school bistro is one of my favorite places. The room is quite plain and unimpressive if you are looking to be dazzled but it has a wonderful feeling and it is very authentic. I love the duck confit...and watching all of the regulars.

helene-darroze.jpg Restaurant Hélène Darroze

4, rue d’Assas

6e

+33 1 42 22 00 11

www.helenedarroze.com Hélène Darroze is one of the few women to ever be awarded two Michelin stars. And these stars are well deserved. The food is terrific. And the room is quiet, calm and elegant.

Brasserie Balzac

49, rue des Ecoles

5e

+33 1 43 54 13 67 Balzac is a great old brasserie with excellent service (the waiters have been there forever but are not pissed off, they retain a dry sense of humor). The food is good, classic brasserie fare and it’s a great spot for Sunday lunch or late dinner.

Rose Bakery

30, rue Debelleyme

3e

+33 1 49 96 54 01 My friend Elena just got back from Paris and she had the most delicious meal at Rose Bakery. They have organic produce, fresh tarts, quiches and a sweet waitstaff.

Lina’s Café

22, rue des Saints-Peres

7e

+33 1 40 20 42 78

www.linascafe.fr Lina’s is a chain but you wouldn’t know it, biting into their famous turkey club. Fresh and delicious, it’s the perfect inexpensive meal to have while walking through the streets of Paris.

Places to Stay

 

ritz.jpg Ritz Paris

15 Place Vendôme

1e

+33 1 43 16 30 30

www.ritzparis.com Although I occasionally try the “new” spot or an old-new spot, I always keep coming back to the Ritz. The place is just beautiful and the service is pretty flawless for France. Yes, it costs an arm and a leg, but it’s worth it.

montalembert.jpg Hotel Montalembert

3, rue de Montalembert

7e

+33 1 45 49 68 68

www.montalembert.com This hotel is very small (as are the rooms) but it is clean and modern and tucked away in a great area off Boulevard Saint-Germain. You don’t feel like a tourist in the way you do when you stay at one of the grande dame hotels. When I shot a film in Paris, my dad stayed here with our black Labrador for weeks - it was our home away from home. They were incredibly gracious and welcoming. Room 81 has a view of the Eiffel Tower.

hotel-particulier-montmartre.jpg Hôtel Particulier Montmartre

23, Avenue Junot

Pavillon D

8e

+33 1 53 41 81 40

http://hotel-particulier-montmartre.com/fr This once grand mansion turned five-room chic hotel was recommended to me by a discerning travel journalist. He had just gone to the opening and said it was really special and worth checking out. Each room is distinctly decorated by various artists. I’ve never stayed in Montmartre, but I love the idea of being in that area of Paris.

st-vincent.jpg Hotel Saint Vincent

5 rue du Pré aux Clercs

7e

+33 1 42 61 01 51

www.hotelsaintvincentparis.com Another spot in Saint Germain, this small boutique hotel is a great deal in an otherwise overpriced area. I have friends that have stayed here and rave about the intimate, clean rooms and ideal location.

NEXT WEEK

 

Next week Mario Batali shares his recipes for a quick, easy dinner party at home.

Are you kidding me? Of course nobody can afford this! What were you expecting, the most budget places from a famous multimillionare Hollywood actress? Hellz no! They want the best and SHINY-est!

 

An arm and a leg to Gwyneth (based on the Hotel Ritz Paris' website) is 770 euros/983 US dollars/1508 AUS dollars a night and that's the cheapest damn room. Most likely she's not even getting the cheapest room, probably more than that.

 

I'd be more interested in these shopping/accomodation/fine cuisine newsletters if they took in mind the reader did not have the kerching to throw out the window without care but once again Gwyneth forgetz, causing yet more backlash for her. Not helping Gwynnie, not helping.

To be fair it seems she did include *some* places perhaps the rest of us can afford. I mean I wouldnt expect her to recommend a budget hotel or anything, but the last hotel she recommended might be something the rest of us could afford if we're looking for a few very special nights in Paris. Not super cheap by any means, but from looking at the photos the rooms do look pretty spacious and lovely.

yeah, kind of.Although it's 150-450 euros a night which is like $200-550.Can't afford that. That's almost what I pay for my rent for like a month. Looks nice though
