For whatever reasons, we haven't been eating out very much...Mollard, Relais d'Entrecote, a couple others...the proximity of great markets and especially La Parisienne have kept us eating in, too. Plus some of us enjoy cooking; some are actually good at it. Unfortunately not the same persons. In any case, at the intersection of Raspail and Montparnasse, half a kilometer from our apartment, are four famous restaurants we've been wanting to try: La Rotonde, La Coupole, La Select, and La Dome. On the advice of a nearby shopkeeper ("where the French eat"), we dined April 28th at La Rotonde, at Place Picasso (he had an apartment nearby), a memorable repas for me.

Famous Lost Generation hangout, said to be among President
Macron's favorites |
 |
| A proper Ricard |
 |
| Properly mixed |
 |
My assiette de fruits de mer for one, absolutely all I could eat:
9 oysters, 3 shrimp, 3 mussels, 3 clams, sea snails large and small
without number |
 |
| Perhaps the last time Vicki will order plain old steak |
 |
| Big shrimp |
 |
| Very small snails |
 |
| Modigliani reproductions all over |
 |
As in all such Paris restaurants, the oysters live outside, on the sidewalk
|
 |
| But a beautiful walk back home |
