Cuisine Francais

Our last week in Paris we have been doing a bit of food sampling.  A little of this and a little of that. 
I walked by a French Cooking Class sign and popped in for a quick run down on French Tarts.  A great way to spend an afternoon for me and not bad for Michael, he got to sample all of the finished product!
One of the "Hot" new chef's in Paris at the moment is Gregory Marchand at Frenchie.  We tried our best to get a reservation but "booked until Christmas" was not looking good.  Luckily he has opened a tiny hip wine bar directly across the street that takes no reservations!  It took a couple of tries but we finally got in.  Big wait line outside, a tiny little spot but very cool. We had several tapas of charcuterie, cheeses, lapin pate and great wine.  We were feeling pretty hip and called it a night!
Michael has been craving Moules et Frites so we indulged in that as well. The mussels tasted fresh off the boat and nothing better than a "French" french fry.
We have also made our way to this quaint little  creperie just around the corner for a nice dinner.  Everyone is served hard cidar in old pottery cups.  A very local's spot.  We kind of stood out but it was delicious.
Can't wait for tomarrow!
