6. Assiette de Fromage somewhere. L'assiette aux fromages at 25 rue mouffetard? A diner on chowhound says "If you want just a cheese dégustation, try some of the wine bars-caves à manger."
Oh, I'm glad that you are both taking notes and have interviewed Fernando. That concert in Notre Dame sound good, although I thought St. Nicholas was Christmas, but perhaps it's a different St. Nicholas? And the price at 18 euros isn't too bad - it certainly would be atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteConcerts in Ste Chapelle are supposed to be lovely, but I would think you would need sun and daylight to appreciate with setting - maybe it's a summer time event...next time? We can do Ste Chapelle for the beautiful windows on one of our two museum days (if we buy the pass - if the cost is close we might buy it just for the convenience?)
I'm all for the Assiete de Fromage on rue mouffetard. what I can puzzle of the menu sounds good. And my French is so much more limited than I thought...I can't figure out anything...does you iPhone have a menu translator?
Oh gosh I'm getting confused about how we're going to pull all of this together
I don't know how we are going to pull it all together! The apartment instructions didn't mention how to connect to the wireless, did they? I've got so much stuff on the blog - much less in my head - that I'm relying on being able to refer back to the postings. Or maybe I should make little dots on my Streetwise Paris maps of the places I want to see. I bought a bunch of colored Sharpies pretty much just for that purpose! Can we print out sections of the google map??
ReplyDeleteAs far as concerts go, I think we'll find ourselves too tired for evening concerts...
