We enjoyed exploring the walled part of town a few years ago. <br />We also learned, in Paris, that those touristy menus cannot compare to finding a little out of the way place where one hears only (or mostly) French. But I would never have imagined trying Asian food in France - it sounds wonderful! Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
