The Food in Paris
Paris Stories were written during a 2014 visit. My second meal in France was in “Le Voltaire”, a small cafe next to the Paris Flea market in Porte de Clignancourt.

I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you about some of those events I have attended that have really added to this...
