Hi mes amies! (did I say that right?)
Here%26#39;s my mystery: You know how you have all of those little pieces of paper on your desk with little notes scribbled on them? Well, I decided to gather them up, look through them and clean them off my desk!
I came across one with the name of a French restaurant that I%26#39;d written down: La Cave de L%26#39;Os à Moelle. It%26#39;s in the 15th. I wrote nothing more down about it. I googled it to see if it had anything really interesting that would have prompted me to make a note of it but couldn%26#39;t find anything.
Do any of you know anything about this establishment? Is it one I may want to add to my list of unique places?
Thanks, all! Hope you%26#39;re all having a good summer. It%26#39;s hot as you know where here in Florida!

It%26#39;s easy enough to find on google, the only thing is, any posts are at least three years old. Maybe I didn%26#39;t look long enough. I don%26#39;t know if it%26#39;s still open. I remember hearing good things about it, but have never been there.

This is a very unusual place for Paris. Definitely unique! There%26#39;s a prix fixe offering (limited choices) for a bargain price (€20 last we were there). It%26#39;s %26quot;serve yourself%26quot; soup, main course, dessert table, with dining at communal tables. There%26#39;s a bread basket for the table, along with a %26quot;pass around%26quot; appetizer (terrine when we were there). Bottles of wines are on display on the stone walls (%26quot;La Cave%26quot;) for selecting (with little or no mark-up). It%26#39;s good to know how things work before you arrive, or you%26#39;d be lost in the commotion...The food was wonderful.
When we were there, you could also buy a packed picnic hamper and/or rent a bicycle! (We didn%26#39;t do this.) I don%26#39;t remember the exact price of the picnic, but it looked terrific for a low price.
It%26#39;s located in the 15th (right on bus route 42 or by Metro Lourmel) close to Parc Andre Citroen and the Seine. Might be fun to pick up a picnic basket, and go on a hot air balloon ride from the park, or just bicycle along the river.

We could see the balloon every day from the balcony of our apartment in the 7th.

Thanks so much! I knew that I had written down the name and address for a reason, but then couldn%26#39;t figure out why! This certainly answers my question.
How in the world do people plan trips without TA?
I love you guys!!!

Just so people know about the hot air balloon at parc Citroen: It stays tethered. It goes up as high as about a 6-story building. It only costs about 10E or so. It goes up if the weather conditions are good. There is a telephone number to call to check the conditions.
I%26#39;m thinking this would be fun for kids but may not be much of a thrill for adults. I went to Parc Citroen on my last trip and considered going up in that balloon. I decided it just wasn%26#39;t exciting enough.
I just wanted you to have a little more information to make your decision.

Thanks, ILWP! I wonder how long you stay up? Long enough for a picnic lunch from La Cave de L%26#39;Os a Moelle, I wonder? How cool would that be!!!!
