This a wonderful guide to Post Revolutionary France. One can still have a coffe and dessert, or a drink at Cafe Procope, where Lafayette and Ben Franklin dined.
Well worth printing and saving for that trip to Paris.

Thanks, Cincinna. Wish I had this last spring, nevertheless
Le Maison Blanc turned out to be a wonderful restaurant. Would have loved to dine in one of the places from the post-revolutionary times.
Just happened to see 2 days ago a program on Ovation TV about Paris and the lady showed Le Grand Vefour. Last night I was trying to remember the name and voila, saw your post today. :)
