I would be glad to give you Catherine Constants email adddress for Violon. She Might be able to help you with Fables, too. As You probably know, Christian made arrangements some time ago for the chef to be buying Fables..I guess that has been accomplished now.
I use the 1010 dialing numbers to call other places ahead of time. I usually try to call before noon Paris time..if you are an early morning person, or late in the afternoon Paris time. Not during busy serving hours. Using the 1010 numbers will cost less than a dollar to do it and far more satisfactory than trying online.
a bientot...

Thanks all - especially nice to hear from you, Joan! I have not been on the website for some time (trop d'etudes de francais) so it was good to hear (read, I mean) your voice again.
I'm headed back this year in August - only time the hubby could get away from work - to celebrate my 50th birthday. My 6th time in the 7th! After reading your posts I realized that there is still so much that I have not seen (well, I mean, so many restaurants that I have not eaten at). We will be exposing our two teenagers to real French cuisine for the first time with a dinner at Le Florimond. I'll be checking for all of your future suggestions, and looking for this spring's trip report from Joan.
Merci a tous... (pas d'accents, pardonnez-moi).

dlejhunt,
Good to hear from you, too! I canceled my trip for the month of May due to some family health problems. So, I will be reading what others are doing! I am set for the month of November along with mid April - mid May for 2011.
You will have fun exposing the teenagers to dinner at Le Florimond. Laurent comes up with some pretty fancy (and large) desserts that I'm sure they enjoy! Your teenagers will probably like the Constant's Les Cocottes and Cafe Constant too, along with all the patisseries in the area!!
The 7th is full of so many restaurants that it can be easy to ask yourself about straying further afield. I always do have favorites in other places, plus try new ones, too.
Au Gourmand is generally on my list and never disappointed. Daniel will have the 'new' Spring opened, too. I also spotted another restaurant in 'his' neighborhood to think about..old standbys for Sunday lunch (not brunch) at l'Obe and lunch or something at Bar Vendome and probably Le Meurice..it just goes on and on.
Enjoy your planning and good to hear from you.

I'm disappointed to hear you had to cancel your May trip. I was looking forward to seeing you in Paris...I guess now I'll just have to make a trip to the Frankie Bones in Asheville!
PS...sorry to hi-jack the thread.

LowCountryIslander,
I just map checked to see where Bluffton, SC was. You are near Hilton Head and probably know the Frankie Bones original place. I have not been in that one, but was only recently told that this one is nicer!
The management staff..and one having a financial interest..came from the Hilton Head location. They have a really attractive place here..the bar area is sort of a wow! when you first see it! I go there often.
Asheville is a good place to visit from Bluffton in the summer. If you have a chance to do so, my email address is now on my profile..let me know, and we will get together at Frankie Bones!!
Sorry, too for thread hi-jack!
