Saying our Paris Goodbyes to Family
Bonjour,
Our last week, saying goodbyes, wrapping up, wistful sadness. That’s where we are right now. It’s Tuesday morning and we are off to a busy day with the Bilbros touring a chateau outside of Paris. More on that later.
Last evening we had the farewell dinner with Bernie’s son James and friends at one of our favorite restaurants, La Fermette Marbeuf. On the way down Avenue George Cinq, we stepped inside the beautiful hotel of the same name to take a peek at the flowers since James works in floral design. Here’s the garden room.
Our dinner at La Fermette was just perfect. The Grand Salle or Garden Room is exquisitely lovely art nouveau, exuding a quiet elegance. The food and service were superb along with the price! What a great time. These young people are off early this morning to return to the USA. They are flat-out exhausted but in a good way. We say Bon Voyage to them and thanks for the memories.
Here’s a sample of our menu selections and yes! all we do, it seems, is eat! Wow….
Have a super day,
Linda & Bernie

Paris’ loss is our gain! I’m a little sad though to know that your blog is coming to an end. Loved todays’s pictures!

Although we are looking forward to seeing you at home soon, we are also a little sad not to be sharing Paris with you anymore this year. Your blog has made us feel as if we were there with you. Thanks for sharing.

Accessibility in Paris would limit me there (glad I’ve been in a small way). BUT I’ve decided that a gastronomic tour with a driver to all the restaurants, cafes, etc. might be doable? This might be the top of my list…

That food! Especially that lobster bisque soufflé! Wow! So glad we got to see Jamie & Steven and their friends.

All the food! The 4 of you should try to re-create a bunch of it and have all of us walk over! (After the heat) I know you’ve enjoyed getting to know the Bilbro’s better. It’s always good to have friends who like to share too. Your blog has been a treat each day. Thanks for writing it.

I’ve loved hearing from you, Barbara. I’ll hand off your idea to Jim Bilbro who’s our foodie!
