Our basket arrived on time with all the goodies.


Finished the web site identifying all the pictures which was not easy especially the art yesterday.  We love the finished product.


Decided to go to the Marché Bastile which is one of the biggest street markets in Paris. Only open on Thursday and Saturday. Interesting assortment of food and all kinds of other stuff. Fun just watching vendors and shoppers. Bought a knitted hat for 6 €. We were tempted to buy some street food but we knew that a big meal was coming tonight.


Walked to Rue Saint Antoine and bought some wine and again stopped at Maison Verot for pâte and a goodie - ham and cheese sandwich. We could buy one of everything here. Took a long walk  in the afternoon along a street in the neighborhood and bought a couple of little things at Casa, as we did last year.


Dinner at  A la Biche au Bois again. They reserved the same table for us. Dow started off by attacking frog legs and I had a poached egg dish. For the main course Dow had canard (duck) and I had a filet with French fries. How do they make those fries so good?! Duck and filet were cooked perfectly. Dow's cherry sauce with the duck was so good – the French are well known for their sauces. We hope each of you could get to Paris and if so, try A la Biche au Bois. It will not disappoint.

Falafel are crisp and delicious deep-fried legume fritters made with beans, spices, onions, and herbs. Legumes are well soaked, then ground up and mixed with other ingredients.
