Lonely Planet review

That's gratitude for you… For decades the glittering Baccarat Gallery-Museum displayed its 1000 stunning pieces of crystal, many of them custom-made for princes and dictators of desperately poor excolonies, at the CIAT (Centre International des Arts de la Table) building, a fine example of Napoleon III-era industrial architecture in the gritty but gracious 10e arrondissement. And then the Noailles stately home became available in the uppity 16e, interior designer Philippe Starck was called in and the museum was at home precisely where you'd expect it to be. Shame… Rue de Paradis (Paradise St) will never be the same. There is an excellent restaurant called the Crystal Room attached now, though.
