Bubbly Weekend

Ok, you are in Paris and want to get away for the weekend. (POOR YOU) How about here?

At the Parc de la Malmaison, Empress Josephine's getaway place in Ile de la Cite.

How about staying here??????? Les Bivouacs de la Reine in the Park de la Malmaison

IN A PLASTIC BUBBLE........With beautiful amenities...

I saw this in Cote Paris and thought it was great. Just minutes outside the city in a beautiful park with all the amenities and on the weekends you can get a package with a "panier gastronomique" (gourmet basket)

 Bet there's bubbly in there and macaroons too!

If you are lucky you can book a tour of the castle.........;)

How cool is this??????  With a cute bistro table to dine al fresco????? To check them out go to http://www.bubbletree.fr/

Oh and yes they even have these things in TREES. I want one for my backyard......

Happy Weekend!
