Some more misc. restaurant stuff: http://www.eatdreamtravel.com/2012/0...chocolate.html
Also, something very cool happened last night. After dinner with my uncle and his friends, we went to their hotel, Hotel Luticia, and a jazz band was playing in the lounge. All of a sudden George Benson came out and sang "Georgia on my mind" with them. Only in Paris!

Lord, that is some delicious-looking food. Like you, I could eat that roast chicken tartine daily!
Thank you for all these great restaurant tips
How cool about George Benson (I admit I had to look up who he is).

I'm just catching up on all of this because I was in the Ardennes for a few days. Giverny looks like it was at a prime season for the flowers -- I really must get back there one of these days, but I take a car to go there.
Didn't know who George Benson is? Oh, what a sheltered life....

Giving away my age but I would die for a small venue with George Benson! Maybe we'll have to stop by the hotel Luticia for an after dinner drink and catch some cool live music! Be there in 2+ weeks and collecting info from your blogs Shar. Yay!

Oh my, how did a month pass so quickly. Loved your food shots and I still haven't made it to Giverny so enjoyed those pix a lot. Were there peonies planted there in Monet's time? I don't recall seeing paintings of them. Gorgeous, eh?
Hub and I based near Bon Marché once and loved saying 'grand epicerie' as well as gawking as often as possible.

My, how time flies as I can't believe it has been a month! I will miss your posts and pics of good eats, hot chocolate, lovely parks and on and on.
Thank you for spending the time to share the beautiful photos and comments of your stay. And, to be moving on to Italy is another treat! And, please don't hesitate to share food and drink pics of Italy, too!

Thanks everyone for following along and for the kind words! I will continue posting from Italy; I will start a new thread here on Fodors. I just haven't done it yet as we are travelling around right now with my parents.
Kerouac - of course the weather got better when we left, as I knew it would, and we brought the rainy cold cloudy weather to Lake Como! oh well, what can you do. At least the Bologna forecast for the next week or two warms my heart, can't wait for sun and 70 degrees...
