Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio re: Paris

I just finished my first radio interview for the book launch (on Sat.).  Peter Greenberg hosted the show from Hôtel Fouquet's Barrière in Paris.  He is a great host, very inquisitive and interested in getting to the heart of having a memorable, unique travel experience.  Keeps you on your toes if you're a show guest.  It's fun for me to talk about my Paris highlights, almost feel like I'm there, especially since I was drinking a good strong coffee (to get all my neurons firing) which reminds me of my daily trips to Verlet coffee house on Rue St.-Honoré.

We talked about places to enjoy the romance of Paris -- like jazz at Duc des Lombards or Café Laurent.  I love taking a daytrip to the Champagne region, and Peter mentioned some of his favorite venues.  My top pick for lunch or dinner in Reims is Les Crayères -- gourmet dining, beautiful accommodations, and lovely grounds.  Another must-visit locale in Paris is Notre Dame on the island in the middle of the Seine River where you might be lucky enough to hear some organ music, and nearby Sainte-Chapelle (photo above right) hosts intimate chamber music concerts.
