Lahat We departed the apartment in different directions, Shoe and Carol were off to the seed store, shoe store and Museums. Pat and I were headed to Guerlain
The little black dress
for a resupply of perfume (La Petite Robe Noir). With that task completed, we headed to the 16th arrondissement to the neighborhood know as Passy. Â The 16th, not quite at elite as the 7th, and the 17th are upmarket residential with large apartments and wide avenues.
Typical 16th Arrondissement building
We decide to visit because it was chroniclized in a book here in the apartment called “A Family in Paris” by Jane Paech, about a couple moving to Paris. Â After the visit we are targeting the area for our next rental in January/February 2014.
The Fish stall
We walked the center of life in the quarter, rue de Passy, and visited the local permanent market, with it’s two fish stands, several cheese mongers and a good looking butcher stall.

We then headed down rue de l’Annonciation where all of the food shops are located to check them our as well.
Vegetables
During our walk we passed the Desgranges bakery, where the local artisinal breads are made on rue de Passy. Â There is a there star restaurant here which may be worth a try if we can get a reservation on a future visit the name is L’Astrance, and the chef Pascal Barbot (not to do further research).
After exploring a bit more we decide to head over to the Marais for lunch at L’ AS du Fallafel for lunch, we never miss having falafels at least once while here.
After inch we had some shopping to do and a bit of window shopping and then headed back to the apartment to rest our feet.
A rotisserie chicken was on the menu for the evening so we walked over to rue Montegueil and reserved a chicken from the butcher for 7 PM and sat at Bianco and had drinks (2 for 1) until seven, collected our chicken and headed back to the apartment to prepared the rest of dinner of sautéed potatoes, haricots verts and of course the chicken.
Dinner of chicken, green beans and sautéed potatoes with onions.
Pat and I had grabbed a poppyseed baguette from Masion Collet earlier to accompany dinner.
