A rainy Paris by night. We favor one particular co-op restaurant in Buttes-aux-Cailles: *Le Temps de Cerises. In our opinion, it remains one of the most authentic places in Paris to eat genuine home-cooked food while experiencing a non-touristy atmosphere. *not to be confused with a more upscale Marais cafe with the same name.

Fantastic quality apple cider can be found across Brittany. Our Vannes landlords Vanessa and Francois gifted us a high-quality bottle as part of their greeting.

The rare 'niefler' (aka medlar) found in Quimper's peaceful 'Prieure Medieval Jardin'. Tastes like apple-cinammon after a couple weeks of soaking. Also has a Brit nickname that I cannot print here. More about this unique re-constructed 16C garden later on. *Poster 'Nikki' and husband stayed nearby.

Some places have gone through multiple name changes throughout history. Here is 17C Villa Massimo, err the Franciscans of the Holy Land HQ, err Giustiani al Laterano, err Casino Lancelloti. Its impressive façade featured Pamphilj doves, Mannerist eagles and lots of stucco. It was next to the Cambridge prep school Sta. Maria.

Local menu. We try to seek out places to eat where the clientele is mostly locals. No easy task, let alone directly across from a major tourist attraction. Yet incredibly, Hosteria Cannavota fit that bill perfectly! We snagged the last seat during that pre-Easter weekend. Rock fans: the young waiter was a dead-ringer for a young Jimmy Page!
