These buggers come straight from the oven and are awaiting their pralin filling... It's rough having a French chef in the house. Oh, and yes, they are just as good as they look.

Yves back from the market
The nicest, friendliest chef around (after YMC, of course!). Yves Camdeborde has "Le Comptoir" and at the time of this photograph, was opening "Le Petit Comptoir", right beside it. A memorable evening of champagne and conversation with him and a horde of writers (including Christian Authier and Jean-Marc Parisis) topped off a fantastic stay in Paris (at the Relais St-Germain, of course!)

Yummm...
What can I say...when in Paris, go to the Atelier de Joël Robuchon. I do. But you know that if you've been following me: l'Atelier and Axel chez Alexandre

Bags and bags of morilles!
I am imagining the nice piece of steak underneath an amazing sauce aux morilles. Those bags must be worth a fortune.

Morning Time
I spotted this right outside my hotel window. Setting up for lunch, writing down the menu on the Carrefour de l'Odéon.

My favorite chefs!
These guys can make you regret any diet started before meeting them! Powerhouse Chef from Chez Alexandre Luis Ferreira (r) and his mentor Yvon Creton (l) from the Restaurant À L'Aventure.

Guess who's coming to dinner?
Yup, that's ex-president Bill Clinton hangin out in front of À L'Aventure on Place Jacques Cartier. He dropped by with his plethora of bodyguards flanked with strange spy gear...couldn't pass by unnoticed. Taken with my handy dandy LC-A...remember, go back to the rules of Lomography...one of them came in very handy for this quaint little occasion. Create a postcard from this photograph

Hard at work
They spent many hours setting up this new tap bridge. 15 taps in a row. The only one of its kind! (hmmm, I am repeating myself here I think). Create a postcard from this photograph

16 "tap 'o beer" on the bar, 16 "tap 'o beer"...
Come one come all, À l'Aventure Pub has a brand new absolutely incredible line of beer on tap ...imagine 16 beer taps (no, not a "mirror" effect in the photograph) all lined up along a beautiful copper structure that gives you an inkling what Captain Nemo's submarine must have looked like. A piece of work Sleeman says they will never duplicate. Create a postcard from this photograph

Candy shelf
Courteousy of "Le Cartet" on McGill street in Old Montreal. A candy shelf to tempt the strongest...just the wrappers can have you oogling all over. All those shinny wrappers!
