Au Pied de Fouet - 3 rue Saint Benoit
A genuine left bank eatery in an area where most of these have become overpriced and under qualitied.
Here, the Dom's new friend, the irrepressible Emilie, will offer you in addition to the menu, a choice of two entrée and two main course plâts de jour which change each day and were consistently excellent on the 5 consecutive relaxed evenings the Dom spent there. Thanks to Emilie, Jean-Francois and chef Sebastien. Closed on Sundays.
The original restaurant (still operating as a sister establishment at 45 Rue de Babylone, across the Bvd St-Germain ) used to be a lunch rendezvous for postmen, who parked their horses and carts outside, and took their horse whip (fouet) into the restaurant and placed it in one of the wall mounted tubes provided for the purpose.

The Hotel
Les Deux Continents 25 rue Jacob
Just below the Basilique St-Germain and five minutes out of the main left bank tourist stuff. A good base - helped by the fact that they drop their rates significantly during August !
|
|
|
A capital (now in the Cluny Museum in Paris) from the long gone cloister of the Abbey (now Basilique) of St-Denis - Abbot Suger's "first Gothic church".
|
At the moment (September 2007), St-Denis is more concerned with the upcoming World Rugby Cup
