We wanted to offer Tawana and Cara a good sampling of traditional fare, so we chose 1) a "typical" Paris resto we like, Le Louis Philippe on rue Tivoli by the river, in the 3rd, 2) something historic, namely Procope, in the 6th, 3) something Art Nouveau, Mollard, by the Gare St. Lazaire, and 4) a creperie, La Creperie Bretonne, at Montparnasse. Good eats and good company!

Lemon and pistachio ice creams...the pistachio was the best ever
for me; Vicki was more reserved; Voltaire wrote that Procope's
ice cream was so good it should be outlawed |
