Following Loire 2025 by ombiasy WineTours led by Annette Schiller, we spent 24 hours in Paris. We stayed with our friend Astrid in the 8th district off the Avenue des Champs Élysées.
For breakfast and lunch, we went to Le Berkeley, a 100-year old elegant brasserie just next to Astrid's apartment.
This was the Opening Day of a most comprehensive Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Centre. Were lucky to be able to spent the morning at the impressive exhibition.Le Berkeley
