| My favorite pastry: the tarte au citron. This was a particularly good version served in a small restaurant near Place Jussieu. |
 |
| Breakfast: a croissant. |
 |
| Soup with gambas (shirmp), coconut milk, and vegetables. First course before the tarte au citron. |
 |
| Classic onion soup with melted cheese on top! We ate this at a randomly selected restaurant just off the Champs Elysée. |
 |
| Crepes. |
 |
| The most wonderful food, but the photos are dark! Shown here: marvelous lamb chops. We really enjoyed the restaurant La Cette. |
 |
| Absolutely fantastic fois gras with fruit, also at La Cette. |
 |
| My main course at La Cette: roast pigeon. Amazing! |
 |
| Another classic: blanquette de veau, served in a casserole, but I spooned it onto my plate with rice. At restaurant L'Opportune, a Lyonnaise "bouchon." |
 |
| Another classic at L'Opportune: quenelles de brochet. |
 |
| Charcutrie with pommes a l'huile (potato salad). |
Wow the food looks so so good! Hope you had fun!

ReplyDeleteAhh.... Paris....nuff said. Cheers
ReplyDeleteMae,
ReplyDeleteSo much wonderful looking food! There is nothing like a true French croissant!
Looks so yummy.

ReplyDeleteSeventh heaven!
ReplyDeleteGreat French food :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, now I´m really hungry! That looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe Rebel angels are amazing! I think I'm going to have to revisit the Louvre! You can simply never have enough time in huge world class museums, can you? I ought to look into whether there's a pass so you can just come and go like you do here. It means you can leave when you get visual overload and pop in anohter time.
