Ooh la la!
So I have a birthday coming up. I haven't thought about it too much (seriously). I normally plan my own dinner party with my friends, but this year has been busy and I just haven't gotten around to it, and whatever. So hunky boyfriend tells me he has made a dinner reservation for my birthday...in Paris.
I'm going to France! This french girl is going to the motherland!
(About 8 hours knitting time there, fabulous dinner, French yarn stores, 8 hours knitting time back - love it)
So, any yarn store recommendations?

Oh you lucky lucky girl! My DH did the same thing a couple of year's ago for April Fools Day. I packed for NYC and ended up in Paris--JOY. Le Bon Marche(Barney's w/yarn)--Sevres-Babylone Metro/Left Bank--is my one stop for yarn and they have a La Droguerie section(yummy ribbons/buttons/trims). Anny Blatt, Bouton D'Or, Phildar, Rowan, Omaghi Filati.There's an AnnyBlatt shop in the Marais, but LBM has it all plus an amazing food hall. Just a skip away from St. Germain des Pres. Ton beau est tres sympa, n'est pas?
Wow!! What a sweet birthday present!! That guy's a keeper.

La Draguerie- yarn shop in Paris
9-11, rue du Jour Paris 75001

oh, and of course
Anny Blatt, 40 rue Francs Bourgeois in Le Marais.
Oh my gosh! How exciting! And romantic! Are you really only going for one day??
Never been to Paris so no recommendations...but have a WONDERFUL time!!!
No, not one day, 4 days. :-)
I second the rec for Bon Marche--how cool is yarn in a giant department store?! It's upstairs, near the luggage... and be sure to check out their supply of Phildar magazines, they are tres chic!
What an awesome hunky boyfriend! Have a great birthday dinner :)
Ooooh, I forgot. Pierre Herme is on rue Bonaparte--the best chocolate and their brioche is...I have to go lie down.
Wow what a present! Have a great birthday! Love the pic btw...$2.00, lol.
What a lovely surprise - I wish you a wonderful trip :-)
