Day 3 in Paris (Julie and Andrew) started with another sumptuous basket of French breads, coffee, and juice, from our wonderful hostess, Mona. Afterwards, we checked out the market on Rue Cler, then the Notre Dame cathedral, and shared a chocolate crepe, before meeting Wendy Lyn for our culinary tour of the 5th and 6th arrondissements. Wendy knows Paris food and is clearly a “rock star” in the culinary scene. We visited and enjoyed samples at her favorite, and the best, bread, cheese, chocolate, and wine shops. Our time with her ended after sharing a glass of wine and a plate of delicious food at l’avant-comptoir. The chef at the wine bar and the restaurant (le comptoir), Yves Camdeborde, came out to speak to Wendy before we went to his wine bar. We were told we had just met the greatest chef of Paris at the moment! We were lucky to get a table outside for an early evening snack before they closed for dinner service. We unloaded all of the goodies from our tour, and had a little rest before visiting Place des Vosges and then taking a sunset cruise up and down the Seine. Another amazing day in Paris, perhaps our best, especially since there was little rain today!
