Rue Ringard

Every city has its cheesy streets, and Paris has its share too, especially Rue Ringard, in the heart of the Latin Quarter, very near Saint-Severin, in the 5th. Rue Ringard is really Rue de la Huchette. We learned the expression ringard from Emily, of course.

PS...there is a redeeming feature, however: a branch of the Maison George Larnicol store, Breton sweets and pastries, including the best kouign amann ever, the butter decadently oozing out even before you slice it.... 

A couple blocks of alternating cheap souvenir stores
and touristy restaurants serving mostly "specialities
Francaises"

Creperies, fondueries, racletteries, and more

Do mussels really come from shells like those?

So that's how they make fondue! Note the raclette
cheese heater at left

Not to be missed if you have a sense of humor and time
to kill in the 5th

PS...Butter oozing from a slice of kouign amann
