Last day in Paris: Fellini and more Les Papilles

I stared out at the Fellini exhibit. So worth it. Definitely worth a visit if you’re there before February. So many great photographs and fun facts. Now I need to re-watch La Dolce Vida.

I had to make a quick stop at the world’s best industrial kitchen supply store, E. Dehillerin. Didn’t buy anything but definitely cool to look and dream.

And the ferris wheel was done, with a VIP booth. Incredible.

And of course, back to Les Papilles for my last dinner with my cousins and his roomies. The meal was amazing, again. The same soup to start off, still incredible. Next, veal braised carrots and onions served with rice. The cheese was new and the dessert was also the same. Definitely the right place to end my Paris experience.

Fauchon, Versailles and Les Papilles, Oh MY

I started the day off at Fauchon near the Madeleine with a croissant and a coffee. Delicious. Good to try ONCE. Ever.

Next: Versailles for the rest of the day. Gigantic. Spectacular. Ridiculous. Gold. Complex. Cake. I walked through the palace and gardens until the sun set.

And for dinner: Les Papilles. This place was amazing. The menu consisted of a zucchini puree soup with little bits of bacon or pancetta, delicious garlicky and crunchy croutons and a dollop of creme to served to the table in a big pot. Main course, 11-hour braised beef served with onions, carrots and potatoes. Next, blue speckled cheese with a candied date followed by clementine and caramel pannacotta.
