Well once again we've fallen in to our old bad habits, there is an exhibition of some of the very top antiques dealers showing at the Carrousel du Louvre and we couldn't keep away. It's not often that you get to see things like Renoir, Boudin, Rodin, Masson, and others where if you have the money you can take them home. However, the tariffs are a bit high for instance there was a perhaps 20 square inch 16th century Dutch landscape priced at 105,000 euros. A bit out of our league.
After the show we stopped at the restaurant of a man whom we'd met another night at another restaurant where he was dining with his mother. Somehow we struck up a conversation with the mother and the next thing you know we had an invite to his restaurant as well. What a nice little restaurant definitely out of the way on a small place, Place Sainte Marthe, up in the 19th. Deb had her first burger (a la francais) while I had a bit of lamb that had been slowly cooked for 8 hours which was very tasty, but I tend to like lamb a bit more rare. Since the owner, Xavier, was not there at the time we will have to reacquaint ourselves at another time, still fun and not expensive.
