Eating Our Way Around Paris

France is world renown for the food and we certainly had every intention of eating our way across Paris. I had to stop early as my stomach wasn't cooperating but Woody and Russ sure gave it their best effort!
This is the restaurant that Woody and I found on our first evening in Paris and we ate there again on our last with Susan. We found it to be very good and very reasonable. We met a very nice American lady who had lived in Paris for 42 years and taught political science at the Sorbonne. She asked how we had managed to pick this spot and we said just by chance. She told us that we had picked well and that proved to be true! I wish I had gotten a picture of dinner but by that time the red wine was, well how should I say Ooh la la!




French Onion Soup


Quiche


Blue Cheese Salad French Style


Here is a pit stop at a coffee and pastry shop. I think we had breached some kind of etiquette because this sale woman was not very pleasant to deal with. I went and sat down and let Woody pay and take care of business. The only reason I stopped was to use the restroom.


Here I am eating breakfast at the hotel. They had wonderful cheeses, soft boiled eggs and terrific bread every morning.


Here we are at a cafe on the grounds of Versailles. Woody and I shared a raspberry tart pictured below while Russ had a quiche and Debbie had a chocolate crepe that she didn't share as Russ thought she should. C'est la vie!
