The 7th is a divisive neighborhood. You have two reactions when you tell someone you live there; “oh I love that neighborhood!” (usually a tourist). Or “oh, fancy” (said by a French), usually in a snide, patronizing tone. It is fancy, though it lost it’s #1 status (for price per sqm) to Saint Germain des Pres.  

It is my favorite area of Paris, and Gros Caillou is the place I call home. If there are any other readers out there who are also residents of this group of fabulous neighborhoods (there are 4 within the 7eme), we have regular meetups. Dinners, lunches, and coffee chats. 

I created the group because I found that it is really hard to find other women who live in the 7th. I don’t know why. And there are so many great restaurants to choose from. I have a list as long as my arm and no girls to join me. 

So if any other women of the 7th want to join, the group is here: https://meetu.ps/c/51KFv/wsvg5/a We are a small group, in English, but we’d love to grow the group and hold more events. So feel free to join!  And don’t be afraid to make suggestions. I’m open to everyone taking part.
