l’Escargot Paris

Restaurant L'Escargot Paris, 5" x 7"

Have you had snails 🐌 at restaurant L'Escargot?

I've passed by many times at 38, rue Montorgueil 75001, 

And perused the menu.

No guts, no glory

While I was busy prepping for the March trip, I noticed something - how Paris arrondissements are laid out.

Paris is laid out like a snail 🐌 with the lower numbers in the middle. 

French Girl says, "Paris was built like a snail. You can see it perfectly when you look at the map with the quartiers. 

Take your finger ☝️ Imagine #1 is at the center. Then draw a snail 🐌 with the other numbers and you'll be able to place the "arrondissements. “Yes we Parisians are snails 🐌 "

 I saw a million chocolate snails in Paris for Easter.

  Not a snail, but a close relative.  

Is this a French snail?

This gorgeous snail was in New York Bergdorf Goodman's Xmas windows. I once had snails at now long-gone classic Bistro de Saint-Peres. Eating l'escargot is similar to eating 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐 croissants at one sitting, the butter 🧈 is that rich.
Paris provides the antidote - ODDIBIL 250. Available over the counter at pharmacies - just plain old charcoal tablets.  They filter out the gras/fat so you can live to eat another day.

The rue Montorgueil Map is in my Etsy shop now.

Please share all l'escargot 🐌 stories.

BONJOUR JEUDI!
