A Taste of Arabia in Paris

39 rue Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 75005 Paris (Tel: 01 43 31 38 20)
A Hammam spa, tea room, restaurant and boutique make for an uber exotic getaway spinning off the local mosque in the 5th Arrondissement. It feels like an afternoon in Marrakech - a break from the norm and now one of my favourite hangout hot spots.
All the surfaces were covered with intricate, elaborate wall art

Outside tea garden

Entrance to the main mosque area

Tea salon and restaurant

Amazingly rich decor

Scrumptious sweets at 2.50 (Euros) a piece

Morrocan mint tea 2.50 (Euros) a glass - so, so good!
