Please forgive me, I omitted to get your name when we were introduced last evening in the Louvre. Perhaps I've seen you in something I've read before? There's something terribly "Alice-in-Wonderlandish" about you. Or, perhaps that was Artaud's fault.
Oui, monsieur de La Fontaine, je vais très bien, merci. Et vous? La vie de musée, cela doit être très différent de celle de fabuliste, n'est-ce pas?
Your kind eyes so tenderly laid upon us passers-by do comfort me
in all my childhood memories of reciting La cigale et la fourmi.
The actual store was not that large but the bugs started at the ceiling and went all the way to the floor. Big ones, small ones, ones that fly, others that crawl. Needless to say I preferred staying outside...I found this oddity in Paris, on Boulevard St-Germain, almost at the Seine.
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!)
This would be so cool in Montreal! In Paris, these guys were on a pedestrian street, one of my favorites in St-Germain, la rue de Buci. I know, it doesn't look to be pedestrian, but it is. And can these guys book!
Walking through Paris, I stumbled upon this not far from Les Halles. A not-so-subliminal subliminal message. Poetic, don't you think?
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
It was absolutely stunning, malgré the apparent damage. Pieces of paper "glued" on walls everywhere in Paris. This one was seen from Ile de la Cité, looking onto Ile St-Louis. Here is the artist: www.womenareheroes-paris.net/
What a great way to create a little terrace. Add a touch of class with the cloth napkins and the wine glass. Vraiment réussi, in my opinion.
I am imagining the nice piece of steak underneath an amazing sauce aux morilles. Those bags must be worth a fortune.
