In France, many small restaurants can only provide so many dinners. So they have to make sure they will be fully booked. Like boulangeries have only so many viennoisseries. Once they sell out, they don’t make any more until the next day.<br />C’est comme ça.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7394196661167989032021-12-05T19:50:31.662-05:002021-12-05T19:50:31.662-05:00We were in Strasbourg during the Christmas market ...We were in Strasbourg during the Christmas market and found the same thing.

Its a hidden treasure just an 1 1/2 hrs train ride away.<br />Sharp eyes! No one was wearing little navy jackets. It was too cold. 30 degrees and maybe less at night.

You captured so much of the spirit and delicious flavors of the city.

I learned about St. Nicholas but not about the interesting tale of the butcher and three children. Charming looking town especially the huge square. I get your feelings about the Ferris wheel. I took my first ride on one a couple of summers ago & only because my grandsons begged me…<br />Unlike your trip to Annecy, I didn’t see a single navy puffer jacket.🎄Ga From Dekalbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443215722922911187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-29244537510919574902021-12-05T11:15:28.086-05:002021-12-05T11:15:28.086-05:00Love your tour photos and your witty content!
