Versailles and 114 Faubourg

Today we're off to visit Versaiiles.  Our guide and driver picked us up at our apartment at 8:30am.  Not much traffic this morning and we were in Versailles a little after 9am.  We booked this tour with myprivateparis.com and were fortunate to have Flora as our guide.  Flora was absolutely wonderful... indeed one of the best guides we've had anywhere in years.

Outside in the beautiful Gardens of Versailles.

We were back in Paris by 1pm and decided to go directly to lunch at Café Constant on rue St-Dominique.  

The French Onion Soup was delicious.

As was the chicken.

My langoustine ravioli sounded better than it looked or tasted.

But the profiteroles were wonderful.

We spent the afternoon back at our apartment and then UBER'd to Le Bristol and dinner at one of favorites, 114 Faubourg.

Our delicious amuse bouche.

The incredible 114 Faubourg salad, one of the best anywhere... mesculin and crisp lettuce hearts, shavings of aged parmesan and black truffle dressing.

Mrs. SFO777Jr had the Rosini beef filet with potato mousseline and black truffle jus.

While the rest of us had the amazing Dover Sole Meunière.

 

After dinner, we went to look for Pharoan, le chat de la maison who Mrs. SFO777 befriended on our last visit.

But she was fast asleep in her room after another hard day of patrolling the hotel.

The amazing collection of letters from fans.
