Medieval Monday

 

 

An after-dinner promenade through the Marais district.

Street of roses

 

Old Rue des Rosiers, once lined with roses, dates from the days before street signs when streets were named for a landmark or function.

 

Marais morning

 

An early start on rue des Écouffes in the heart of the old Jewish quarter.

Falafel Friday

Gigantic falafel sandwiches in the old Jewish Quarter.

 (most take-away food shops closed Saturdays)

Matzele'h

These large crackly Israeli flatbreads (red onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, kosher salt toppings) perfect for hummus and dips are quite different from their Eastern European cousins.
