Eating and Shopping on Rue Saint Honore

Day 3 saw us moving over to the Right Bank, in a cute boutique hotel called Hotel Therese. It is here where Manda met up with her family and the advanced party for the wedding met up for shopping and more eating.

After settling into our room we ventured round the corner to Saint Honore for lunch and the after-lunch window shopping that is usually complementary to such meals laden with butter, truffle oil, or foie.

When I go to France I usually have a checklist of food that I must eat, and this was it:
Escargot; duck; lamb or rabbit; seasonal foods such as mushrooms, white asparagus or truffle; foie gras; artisanal cheeses; souffle; eclairs; macarons; crepes.

We stopped in a bistro along the way, Le Castiglione. You can always tell if its good if there are a lot of people eating there.

Surveying their menu, I was attracted to the ceps in a dish- so I had to order it.

 excited to shop!

Kat's special catch of the day

So, macaron: check. scargot: check. duck: check. Seasonal food: cep!
Now onto window shopping at Chanel, Hermes, Longchamp...etc etc etc.
