For whatever reasons, on this campaign we did not get out to the restaurants as much as we might have liked. On the other hand, I managed to gain about a pound a week during our stay...

| From a first foray to the nearby Grand Epicerie de Paris, Bon Marche |

| Steak and Frites...best in Paris...at the Relais d'Entrecote |
 |
| Mikhail Reydillet's La Parisienne--triple crown winner from the 2025 Fete du Pain-- is just around the corner... and we had a lot of pastries and croissants and baguettes... |
 |
| Lots of pain=lots of gain |
 |
Vicki's baking classes...croissants, then tarts and such... contributed to the gain |
 |
| It was perhaps the height of oyster season |
 |
| Oysters at Louis-Philippe |
 |
| Oysters at the Marche Bastille |
 |
| Oysters not pictured at Mollard |
 |
| Other things, yes |
 |
| Flaming... |
 |
| Way too many Belgian frites |
 |
| We were regulars at the Georges Larnicol shoppes... kouign amann...the Bretagne orgy of butter and sugar and chemical traces of flour; above, a emptied pan, butter having oozed out from the pastry |
 |
| My main downfall...crunchy butter...thickly spread on baguettes with jambon, several times a week...sometimes just on baguettes... |
 |
| Fruits de mer at La Rotonde |
 |
| Steak |
 |
| Seriously good pistache at the Parc Floral |
 |
| And more fruits de mer, at La Coupole |
 |
| And crepes suzette...it was National Crepes Suzette Day |
