SALON DU THÉ, PARIS
On rue Gracieuse, a small side street off of Place Monge in the 5th Arrondissement, is the incredibly elegant tea salon, La Maison des Trois Thés. With its hundreds of fine teas to choose from, and its proprietress only one of only about ten true tea masters in the world, you can easily be transported to another world (as if just being in Paris isn't delightful enough!). The brass weighing scales, we are told, date from the Napoleonic era.
