Ghosts and ghouls were everywhere today. In part because of La Toussaint, All Saints Day, a catholic holiday of Holy obligation and a public holiday in France and Halloween!
We kind of escaped all the madness and induldged in a 2 1/2 hour lunch at Benoit. A Parisian Bistrot that opened in 1912 and is now run by the famous Chef Alain Ducasse. We enjoyed champagne, escargot, pumpkin veloute, pork belly (well, Michael enjoyed it), malecote and armagnac saverin. Can't forget the esspresso and hot out of the oven madelines. Gotta love these French lunches.
On into the evening we made our way down the street to listen to some Gypsy Jazz. A distinct hip beat originating in France.
