The left bank of Paris. Quiet? Snobbish? Boring? 
Well, if you like to follow guidebooks and move with the flock, feel free to visit Montmartre and the Champ De Elysee, but if you enjoy discovering lesser known streets and hob-nob with fellow local Parisians, the left bank is the place to visit.
Hotel Le Cinq Codet is where designer chic wanna-be Parisians stay when they indulge in their Parisian weekend-getaway.
The designer hotel is relatively new with friendly staff, a rooftop Jacuzzi and also a restaurant with the same flair as its surroundings. A favourite recipe among local Parisians on the weekend is the Poultry and Orchard by Chef Antonine K’Ros. Here it is – I hope you will enjoy the simplicity of a delicious French recipe.
