We slept late - about 10:30, but hey, we're on vacation! We headed to Tribeca down the street on Rue Cler for cafe, chocolat and croissants. A good Paris breakfast. Then it was off to the Metro for a cook's tour of Paris - on tap were stores that cater to cooks. We found a bookstore with all their books relating to cooking. Almost all were in French, and we did buy three. We visited D.Hellerin, Simon, MORA, and Bovida and then took a break for lunch at Pre and Fils in Quatier Pietons. We both had Salade Provencales - chevre chaud, jamon, tomatoes, and greens. We washed it down with a pichet of rosé.
After lunch we wandered toward the Louvre, through a park at the Palais Royale, then through La Tuleries and then back on the Metro at Concorde and back to Rue Cler for Kir and Pastis at Cafe du Marche.
We had an outstanding dinner at Leo Le Lion. We split a starter of white asparagus with two sauces. We went on to the salmon stuffed with leeks and crabmeat and poached turbot with seasonal vegetables both were outstanding. We finished with a cheese plate for me and chocolate cake for my wife. We will certainly return and will recommend to friends.
