From Paris to Austria, thank you little ones Von Trapp.
What more to do but celebrate and bid farewell to my beloved Paris, Parisians and expats alike? Choose the bar. The bedazzling clink of tonight's kir royale will forever resonate.
One Option:
Le Grand Prairie, brought to us from la Bellevilloise as their way of saying, "There there, my little Parisian. Come sit upon my lawn chair and sip a mojito. You, too, will soon realize that remaining in Paris for August isn't really all that bad".
Converted from a loft into a very colorful prairie, Le Grand Prairie is an awesome lounge space with a faux, al fresco feel, perfect for an evening cocktail with friends or else an afternoon session with your latest and greatest paperback.

Second Option:
As an ode to my first 6 months in Paris, perhaps commemorate the farewell with a blast from the past: Le Perle, Paris' beloved grunge bar on Rue Vielle du Temple, just in the heart of Le Marais. Ahhh yes, many a weekend after weekend was spent at this fashionista favorite, sipping vin rouge after vin rouge, intermingled with vodka tonic after vodka tonic. Memories.

Third Option and This Evening's Winner:
The infamous Andy Wahloo bar and lounge. Delicious cocktails and nifty, North African pop art aside, the venue is the perfect blend of laid back bar married with fun hipster scene. And with seating that spills out onto the backyard terrace, neighboring the darling "Derriere" concept resto, there's plenty of room for all the fashionably late comers.

Always and forever, each and all of the above will remain near and, yes, very very dear.
