falafels in the marais

arguably the best falafels in paris, it's a muuuust to get them when here. rue des rosiers, located in the jewish quarter of paris, is famous for its falafels. there are about 4 or 5 different places, but the best is by far are found at l'as du falafel. no, it doesn't mean "falafel ass" or "donkey falafel"...but rather "the king of falafels" - and rightly so.
stuffed inside a warm pita is sun-dried tomato, grilled aubergine, courgette, mayo, super spicy spices & those delicious falafel balls. omnomnom. we sat down on the cobble-stone, pedestrianised street and gobbled up our wraps...and it's safe to say that we enjoyed it down to the very last falafel-filled bite...

with comfortably full bellies, we wandered through the lanes & alleyways of le marais, the quarter of paris renowned for its shopping. stopping every 2 minutes at friperies (second-hand/vintage clothes shops) and entering hidey-hole shops jam-packed with clothes in every colour, shape, pattern & style possible. i managed to nab a pair of leather boots, a couple of leather belts & a silver "owl" brooch. mmm i love paris shopping. there's really nothing quite like it.
xo,
