Baby Gaga, The Idiot’s 5.35-year-old granddaughter, has insisted on taking charge of all social planning in Paris because “I live here permanently now and you still have an American accent.”
Here are some of the places she took The Idiot in late January.
Baby Gaga took The Idiot on a tour of Richard Orlinski’s animal sculptures (think gorillas, bears, lions and cats) on Avenue George V.

Baby Gaga took The Idiot to lunch (she even tipped) at Le Petit Bouillon Vavin in Montparnasse, which she insisted is the best and most popular restaurant in Paris because there’s always a line outside.
