- French toast made with brioche and eggs with milk, vanilla and little bit of molasses.
- Walks in the Marais (Mar-eyh)
The Marais
is one of the only places with open shops on a Sunday
A nice walkable Jewish/Gay/start-up-clothing-designer neighborhood. Somehow this works.
- And then there are the pitas.
At least 5 different pita shops that also sell to-go through a walk-by window. Strange for the country where sit-down dinners are a national sport.
But these pitas, they are divine. Every bite is
different. They seem to hit every flavor and texture on the palette.
Start with a toasty pita bread,
spoonful of garlicky hummus, 3 piping hot crunchy-on-the-outside falafels, sweet shredded carrots, fresh shredded cucumber and purple cabbage, then red
tomato sauce, grilled eggplant, a white yogurt-tahini sauce and a
dill pickle. (the only place in all of Western Europe I have found real dill pickles).

It is a crying SHAME I didn't take a picture of mine. I am pretty sure it was 50% bigger than this girl's
- AND Sundays are for warm September sunsets
