Au Rocher de Cancale in Paris, France

Oysters

I needed a bit more food after work tonight, and fortunately a lot of late night places north of Les Halles were just a short walk away. I got a dozen oysters from this shop (78 Rue Montorgueil, 01-42-33-50-29), and they turned out to be wonderfully briny. But perhaps more exciting for me was the entire culture of sitting in one of those quintessentially small streetside tables nibbling on a bit of food and wine with a view of passers-by along the cobblestone road, especially when the weather was so nice tonight. It made me realize how I've been missing out on France all of this time.
