chris benz’s paris diary

Having only two days in Paris, I dashed over to Saint Chappelle to see the spectacular stained-glass windows. I think this chapel blows Notre Dame out of the proverbial water in terms of delicacy of design, detail, and drama. There is more stained glass than wall—très jolie! I met friends back at the hotel for a glass of rosé Champagne, then it was off to dinner at Dav? for some fashion storytelling. After dinner we each rented a vélib’ (the terrific bicycle you can rent all over Paris) and cruised around the Marais in the warm nighttime air.

Tonight I’m hosting a dinner in the Bastille at my second favorite restaurant, Café de l’Industrie, for my friends in Paris. It’s a terrific place for a summer dinner party—full of nineteenth-century safari paraphernalia and dusty threadbare carpets. Hopefully it will not be too late a night; we’re all off to Athens early tomorrow!
