Snapshots 1.23-28

Monday

Tuesday

Open mic night in this tiny medieval cellar where people were wall to wall, sharing seats, sitting on the floor, crammed in everywhere.  Definitely a fire hazard, but the entertainment plus the appearance of a jazz flute made it well worth the risk.

Wed

Thursday

Friday

Meetings all day with Musée d’Orsay, Catacombs, & Pompidou. Was in the Marais at lunch time, so got the best falafel in town and ate it in the Place des Vosges.  One of the first days we’ve seen sun in a long time. Beautiful.

Dinner at a favorite new restaurant, Au Petit Sud Ouest, where they serve only duck (a Southwest specialty), and you have toasters at your table to have warm toast w/ foie gras.

Saturday


Behold, deliciousness.

A tiny olive oil shop that has one table, and barely room to squeeze people around the one table. We had a reservation for June (they are booked solid every night 6 months out), but they had a last minute opening.  Goes on the list of favorite experiences.
