"Favorite Paris Restuarants and Shops of Katie Holmes, Sienna Miller, and Other Celebrities\nKatie Holmes, Sienna Miller, Simon Doonan, Sarah Jessica Parker, and other stars reveal their favorite spots in the City of Light\n\"The Place des Vosges,\" declared model and actress Dree Hemingway, great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, at the Chanel dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival. \"If it's a beautiful day, you hang out in the park, buy a baguette, do what the Parisians do.\u00A0But around the corner is my favorite restaurant, Chez Janou. It's just a simple bistro, the first place I ever tried mussels.\"\n\"I live in Paris,\" said supermodel Natalia Vodianova, at the United Nations for the Diller-Von Furstenberg Family Awards ceremony, where she was being honored for the work of her Naked Heart Foundation on behalf of orphans and the mentally challenged in her native Russia.\u00A0\"My favorite spot? L'Atelier de Jo\u00EBl Robuchon.\u00A0It's an incredible restaurant. It's very cute, really charming, and bloody delicious\u2014beyond anything I've ever tried before. Perfection.\"\nOn the opening night of Los Americanos, restaurateur Billy Gilroy's hip Mexican cantina in Tribeca, the Inquisitive Guest slipped into a booth with actress Sienna Miller. \"It's really chichi and embarrassing,\" she admitted, \"but I have a very special place in my heart for the Ritz. When I got engaged, that's where I spent the night. And I would normally never stay in a hotel that big and that luxurious, but it's really kind of magical. They're redoing it now.\"\nAt the Four Seasons restaurant for the 25th-anniversary f\u00EAte of The New York Observer, actress Katie Holmes kindly paused to reveal her offbeat pit stop in Paris. \"There is a great silk-flower shop on the Left Bank,\" she told the Inquisitive Guest. \"It's just a beautiful little place that I always visit.\"\nAlso at the Four Seasons to honor The New York Observer, Katie Couric, seen here with New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, recalled the name of her favorite Belle \u00C9poque pastry shop. \"I like to go to Angelina for the really great hot chocolate,\" she said. \"It's just next door to the Meurice hotel.\"\nBehind a secret panel upstairs at the Lion, a restaurant in New York's Greenwich Village, HSN was celebrating its relatively new purveyor of lingerie and fragrance, Dita von Teese. \"I love Lap\u00E9rouse,\" she said. \"It is one of the oldest restaurants in Paris. And famously, men used to bring their mistresses there. You can still book private salons, where the waiters will only enter if you press a button.\u00A0So there are these gorgeous old rooms, and you have your own window to the street, beautiful lighting you can control, and there are mirrors on the wall where women used to check to see if the diamonds they received were real.\u00A0It's just this exquisite place\u2014the next level of seduction.\"\nSparkling with jewels that she said needed to be returned to the host by midnight at Tiffany's Blue Book Ball at Rockefeller Center, actress Sarah Jessica Parker lit up when asked about Paris. \"Oh my gosh. My favorite district in Paris is the Marais, the old Jewish part of town.\u00A0They have about six parks, tiny little restaurants, and amazing thrift shops!\"\nAt the Four Seasons, film mogul Harvey Weinstein, seen here with financier Vivi Nevo, mentioned, of all things, an Italian restaurant. \"My favorite is Le Stresa, right near the Plaza Ath\u00E9n\u00E9e.\u00A0Six brothers run the place\u2014the best Italian food in Paris.\"\nOn their way into the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in L.A., David Furnish and Sir Elton seconded that notion. \"We like a restaurant called Le Stresa,\" answered Furnish. \"And the Ritz hotel.\"\nIn the front row at the Diane von Furstenberg fashion show in Manhattan, author and Barneys creative guru Simon Doonan claimed that he's drawn in more by the slightly-seamy underside of the French city. \"It's fun to go to the parts of Paris that look like Manhattan's 14th Street,\" he said. \"The chichi areas of Paris are kind of . . . whatever. I like the sordid, dismal areas that remind me of a novel by Georges Simenon [the late Belgian pulp-fiction writer who lived in Paris], where there is an angry cabbage-boiling concierge and some depressed tenants.\"\nAt the New Yorkers for Children annual spring dance, makeup executive Olivia Chantecaille said she considers Le Pavillon de la Reine a very chic hotel. \"Every room is different,\" she explained. \"And it's on incredibly beautiful square in Paris. I stay there during fashion week.\"\nAt the Time 100 Gala at New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center, actor Bryan Cranston brought up the \u00CEle Saint-Louis. \"It's this beautiful island.\u00A0You can cross from the Right Bank or the Left, and all of a sudden you think, Wait a minute, what is this?\u00A0And there is a caf\u00E9 there where I had dinner with my wife and friends.\u00A0The rain started coming down. It was very Parisian and romantic.\"\n\"I love the Marais,\" said actress Carla Gugino at New York's Roundabout Theatre gala. \"I love that whole area. One of my favorite places is Ladur\u00E9e, which has beautiful hot chocolate and macarons.\u00A0Really delicious.\"\nActress Olivia Munn was also at the Time 100 Gala. \"Last year, for my birthday, my boyfriend surprised me with a trip to Paris,\" she said. \"We went to the vintage store Didier Ludot, and I got a wonderful 1970s Herm\u00E8s purse. I love Paris. And it's so great when you go there and you're in love.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
