RUE VIEILLE DU TEMPLE

(really worth the click)

It's where we stay. It serves the best Tarte Tatin in the world (we should know). And it's changing. There are encroaching more and more designer and repetitive any-where-in-the-universe shops for the tourists, tourists, and tourists (we should know). The street of old is being forced further north up beyond Rue Bretagne and Rue Oberkampf.

But then there's the French - irrepressible, inventive, and endlessly witty.
