| Le Tastevin |
Returned for a few days to this most beautiful of cities, staying in the Marais district this time, a little more authentic and neighborhood- like than the central districts.Yes- the students were rioting but we just stayed clear of some monuments and no problem. One new experience I have heard of for years but not tried, were the Paris Walks. Owned by Peter Caine and his wife Oriel, they are a delightful series of tours by foot for whomever shows up. Their schedule can be found at http://www.paris-walks.com/index.html. We were fortunate to have Peter for our guide in the Marais, and it was a lovely experience with great historical stories at every stop-for only 12 euros pp, to be paid on the spot. Check it out.
Paris is not Paris for us, without dinner at the same little restaurant we have enjoyed for 27 years on the Rue Saint Louis-en-l'Ile. Warm, cozy on that special island in the middle of the Seine, Le Tastevin is proudly looked over by Madame Annick Puisieux, and she, the setting and cuisine never fail to charm.Open daily for dinner, and also a wonderful lunch spot on a rainy Sat. afternoon. Tell her I sent you.Tel. 43-54-17-31.
