I'm in Paris. It's after midnight and getting through elephant doses

1. Bonne nuit. Wake up early, or go for a walk at 4 am. One street to the

next will smell of baking croissants and baguettes. And have an ancien baguette for me.

2. Hot Nutella Crepes..... I can smell them from here.

When Nutella was hard to find in this country, that was all I could think of.

11. Ha ! My son finished his second Nutella crpe 2 minutes ago !

My wife and I prefer the savory crêpe....we had ham, egg and cheese....mmmm.

And of course Deux bouteilles de cidre....

I recommend crêperie Pen-ty, 65 rue de Douai, 75009 Paris

Yum yum

6. Funnily enough, back in 2000, I worked in Paris for about 18 months

and stayed in the same hotel. I was getting married that year, so each morning I would go out walking all around Rue Lepic, Abbesses, up the 200 steps by the funicular to the Sacre Cœur, around by Place du Tertres, and back. It was utterly magical, and so typical of what one imagines Paris to be. I've filled up on ancien baguette and croissants... ready for the day b!

3. Tres bien!

Vodka. My choice for evening drinks, too.

Enjoy!

7. The barman was subbing for the usual staff, as they were having their

Christmas night out.....super guy but he didn't leave much room in the glass to add some diet coke !

4. But have you tried poire William?

So smooth, it slides down your throat. My cousins in Luxembourg turned me onto it during a visit there. Yum!

8. I haven't tried it, though I have previously endulged in Marc du champagne

which is like diesel.

9. I've found that stuff to be a bit much.

[OnDoutside]

10. Yes I agree.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Strangely enough, I do like grappa.

Go figure.

13. It's slightly not as bad, from the stuff I tried anyway !
