Did you notice the only recognition of the Obama visit seemed to be a small headline from the Boudons local newspaper Very cool. I blogged about it at http://areweinparisyet.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-footsteps-of-obama.html

A couple of years ago I had made a reservation at Le Petit Pamphlet and showed up only to find that it had morphed into Le Carré des Vosges. They hadn’t told me when I made the reservation and I wasn’t pleased, but the meal was wonderful. Good to see it still is.

As you know, I steered friends to La Fontaine de Mars in August and they liked it very much. I think one of the other great traditional places (yes, even red checkered table cloths) open on Sunday is Astier, where the cheese tray is daunting and the baba is especially good,with real rhum sauce rather than just rhum. Will have to try Carre des Vosges next time we are in town.
