After our visit to Florence, our second and final stop was Paris. We've stayed in the same apartment a couple of times; it's located on Square du Temple Elie Wiesel, with a view of the square from its windows. It's around the corner from Rue de Bretagne, home to any number of fine food shopping establishments.
There's the Marché des Enfants Rouges, established sometime in the 1600s. Fun to walk through, maybe grab a bite or a quick glass of wine. Nearby are a couple of groceries; I wish my grocery here at home did something like this...
Lots of oysters! To take home!! (Here on the lower east side, they're more likely to be selling weed...https://www.instagram.com/p/Clt3VDTOlsU/?hl=en)
There's an amazing cheese shop, which we take advantage of...
Chocolate, butcher, patisserie, etc. all within a stone's throw - it's great.
Our first night in Paris, we met an old friend for dinner.
All the tableware reveals itself as you finish up the dish. The food was good (wine great); the plates are...interesting.
