It's that time of year again when folks seek out terrace dining;

This week, Thierry Richard has written up several other terraces of note:

Les Jardins Plein Ciel

Au Pere Lapin in Surenses [a place I really like].

I am planning a visit to Paris in October (approx. 8-24 or so), and somewhat related to this topic, are there recommendations for restaurants with nice views of fall foliage (assuming that there will be fall foliage during this period in October)? I am probably interested in indoor dining, unless it ends up being unseasonably warm or the terrace is heated. Would any of the Bois de Boulogne restaurants be a good choice?

Holly,

I think I know where you might be staying..if so, and fall is in the air in Paris, you should have some pretty colorful views!

I have a feeling that you could put together something pretty special for dining. You could also get a bit of help from Dubernet and/or Davoli, in your neighborhood.

Parisian friends have said it has been a cool and wet summer, but is nice now. Hard to tell what October will be like..anything from quite warm to quite chilly.

You may have to play it by ear for dining terraces with color.

Enjoy your planning...
