Whatever happened to the plan that Alice Waters would open a restaurant at the Louvre. Is it not to be?

Bageless :) I liked your memory of those days. The Avignon airport is small but I liked it very much. We left the rentasl car there and flew to Paris and onto Boston

Not the norm, I have always looked younger, I'm 71 and people guess me as 50

I wore a bikini til I was fifty :) Looked good back then.

I'd like someone to bring me back a dozen Herme's mixed selection. How much should I expect to pay?

NO!!!

What I see in Paris are women eating lightly and moving their food about on the plate, whereas in France Profonde, the women are heavier but more sensual about their food..

It's like a small gem of a hotel, you mention it on line, a few years later, you can't afford it or get a booking. Most Americanss are lemmings when it comes to hotels and dining. Afraid to try a new chef. By the way, The wine spectator this month mentions new young inovative chefs changing the staid menus of Burgundy.

What's the update on my long ago dining at Prunier (where they actually had a sea urchin shuck bar.) and La Marée

The first goat was slaughtered after they discovered it had mad cow disease. Another 200 or 400 were killed as a precaution tho they did tested MC free. This is in Ales.

[i'd like to know where th canal wine tasting meal is. Has anyone tasted the meal on the barge Restaurant La Peniche on the Lioire?

Auberge Breton? If you mean the one in La Roche Bernard, we ate there but several years ago and Don't remember the meal because it was the one and only time in all our years we had a rude server. I don't think she liked Americans. She was young and acted like Miss Rachitt. The hostess otherwise was very nice and we told her our feelings when we left.

I loved the cow!!

Les Fréres Lani, rue Leydet Chez Gu et Fils rue F. Mistral but I read since being mentiond in a year in Provence, the prices are not as inexpensive.

There's a piece in todays New York times on this. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/07/internat...xT/3h1Ha/UaosLw

I read the same thing in several papers, that the daughter would be taking over, and business as usual.

http://food4.epicurious.com/HyperNews/get/gtips/5090.html The same question here and an answer.

They change the petite card, the wine label every year. The telephone and the fax are the same.

No, No, That's not what I meant. We go there yearly for a meal and last September was a new sign.: LeBistrot du Paradou "Chez Jean Louis" C'est ici a chicken above the right of Le a rabbit below the C I had to take a picture!

There's a Brasserie Flo and a Maxim's at CDG.

Notice the new sign by the parking lot.

I eat meat but prefer seafood, so for me I can highly refer to a previous poster's choice of La Mareé. It's been many years since Prunier. Is it still there?
