Roberta ,
What date for Reed, I will drop a note to Catherine. Did you put Casse Noix on your list?? I think you will like it..if you can fit it in!
I am just working on sending my friends, who will be joining me for the 11/19 - 12/15 trip, to Riquewihr for a few days. I have to go to London for a few days and that might be a good time for them to go. Easy TGV and my shuttle people will take good care of them to/from Gare d'Est...
I will go when back after first of year...
a bientot..

Thanks, Joan. I emailed Catherine last night and she already confirmed my reservation request.
You know my time is always so limited in Paris. Casse Noix seems like a great choice but closed on Sundays. I already have reservations at Le Souffle and spending the day in London on a Saturday. I believe Cafe Constant is open on Sundays, may have to return.

Joan, is Reed's email address [email protected]? The reservation request I sent came back as undeliverable. We'll be in Paris the end of Sept. I'm delighted you will be back. I always enjoy reading your reports.

The wanadoo is with two oo's
Chatted with Catherine this past week. Not open for lunch..only dinner....I will be seeing her before I know it..time has a way of going by fast! Mid Nov will be here before I know it.
Better drop Catherine Constant a note soon re Thanksgiving headcount..she knows we will be there..just headcount!
I think the Nov/Dec trip is going to go by fast..too short! Jan/Mar will be better. Looking forward to both.
Denise and Chaz will enjoy Rome....

We may have an additon to our T/G group. Waterdog is checking out things now for a trip. I did tell them about a good spot, at this late date. Laidback had a last minute cancellation due to an elevator that died and thought of a great place that I had asked them to previeew a couple yers ago. It happended to be empty and they stayed therre..they really liked it and the neightborhood..In 16th just across the Seine from 'our' part of the 7th. I checked it for T/G and it appears available so have told Waterdog...who know, they may join us..hope so..nice people...they can join our group!!
Another friend will be there and gone just ahead of my arrival..we have met for the last 2-3 years and had fun dining together. I have just given her some dining spots.

Joan - I am here now and roasting as the temp has benn over 30 Celsius since we arrived! Got in touch with Frederic and we will have our Sunday lunch at l'Obe on the 16th! They will not close till the end of December.
went to Chez Jenny today with some friends (eight chattering women - Tom bowed out!!) Then stopped by Jacques Genin - was too hot to enjoy those beautiful pastries but bought some mendiants for munching later. I find that he makes the lightest ones.
I think we will get together with The Laidbacks when they get back from the seaside! Lucky them to miss this heat wave.
enjoy your planning and I will follow your adventures. I always live vicariously reading your trip reports!
Bisous,
Lilia

Hi Joan,
It is so nice to see you back. I love reading about and learning from your Paris adventures.
I had a wonderful dinner at Reed earlier this year and last year dined
solo at the Les Ambassadeurs brunch because of your encouragement.
Look forward to your new posts. Thanks.

It looks like waterdog (both) will be joining us in Paris for Thanksgiving. They are working on a Paris Perfect apartment now.
That would be great! We will introduce them to our very special evening at Violon d'Ingres! We can also introduce them to some other great places during their stay.

Putting together a day in Toulouse. Can take an early morning EasyJet from Orly..have breakfast at Le Bebent, sight see - have lunch at Le Bebent, sight see more and take late afternoon flight back to Orly.
I have been talking with Catherine about it. I'm sure she would set up someething great for us at Le Bebent. Might be fun.
Caherine ordered and then sent to me the tourist info brochure with the different places to see..like 4 do it yourself tours.

I am dying...I loved Rome but will miss Paris. I am absolutely getting killed at work and can't think of taking any time off (and don't have the money anyway, which I find very inconvenient).
I look forward to living vicariously through you, once again! Glad waterdog will make Thanksgiving....Chaz has plans for me ti be decorating the house for Christmas during TG. Paris would be more fun, especially with Flo and Mika!

Hi Denise,
Wish you and Chaz would be there to join us. Waterdog will not make it this year.
The Toulouse trip sounds fun. Hope we can put it together. Catherine has been most helpful.
F&M are on a budget. M has his own business now and is back in school to cpmplete his French CPA..Also their 75% tax is not helpful! F says those who voted for the nut are now not admitting they voted for him. He asked if that sounded familiar!!
I am packed..only 1 small bag and my laptop carry-on! It has extra space in it and will be all that I will take to London for my needed few days there.
Mick is planning side trips, just for him..to Normandy and possibly Strassbourg.
a bientot..

I know you will have fun. Tell Flo and Mika we are all on a budget! We need to get our house painted and have a few other things to repair around here! Well, the politicians are the same the world over.
I bet Toulouse will be fun...we haven't been there. Sounds like you are all ready to go!

I am watching weather now and beginning some dining reservations etc. I will be doing the Day in Toulouse trip and we are also going to Reims overnight and have hotel, dining and a top Chmoagne house visit along with all the other things about Reims. I was going to London for a couple days, but was able to get out of doing that. Will spend my time in Paris!
