Marché des Enfants Rouges, Spaghetti Vongole

 Very sad news yesterday of the fire 🔥 

That ravaged Marché des Enfants Rouges .

Did you ever visit? 

Located at 39, rue de Bretagne 

In the heart ❤️ of 

 Of the Upper Marais, 75003. 

Built in 1615 by Louis XIII.

And reopened 

BY FRÉDERIC HOUBRON

in 2000 after 6 years of renovations.

Such a vibrant place, 

Full of multi-culti

Delicious food 

20 lively vendors.

In 2016 

I made a Paris map 🗺️ 

Of rue de Bretagne.

My last visit was April 2 of this year.

To Les Italiens du Marché

Renown for their 

‘Clean plate Club’
Spaghetti Vongole. 

The one thing I really miss 

From the states 🇺🇸 is CLAMS…

Simply not the same as Surf City Cherry Stones.

After trying some other places 

(all unsatisfactory -empty shells!)

I started making my own spaghetti Vongole.
