Where is rue montorgueil

The Experimental Cocktail Club at 37 Rue St-Sauveur is also coveted for its excellent mixed drinks— and has made my old street eons hipper than when I called it home. For pastries and sweets, try the Maison Stohrer bakery at 51 Rue Montorgueil, claiming to be the oldest bakery in Paris. Rue Etienne Marcel and Rue Tiquetonne are lined with boutiques and concept shops, from both well-known designers such as Barbara Bui, to concept shops such as Kiliwatch 64 rue Tiquetonne and local multibrand boutiques Eleven Paris, 32 rue Etienne Marcel.

Stay tuned for a forthcoming feature on some of my other favorite arcades in the city. We are interested in a tour. Do you still do them? We are coming to Paris may 4th. We will be going on a tour of northern France on the night of the 5th.

We will be back in Paris on the morning of the 13th and also have that day. Then we would like to stay in Chartres for two days before we leave on the 15th. I was so taken by your profile.

Hi Sandra, many thanks for reading! I unfortunately am not offering private tours, but am happy to direct you to companies I know and trust. Good luck, and wishing you a wonderful trip! Mais tu n as pas parle de la visite que la reine d Angleterre avait fait dans cette rue de Paris, et en particulier chez Stohrer?

Thanks for all the great information about Rue Montorgueil. Was it the Sole Normande , the iconic recipe said to have been invented here in ? Or perhaps the famous Cancale oysters, considered by some the finest in Europe? Balzac was known to eat at a go.

Whatever it was for Balzac, everyone has a dish that draws them to Rue Montorgueil. But while many come to Rue Montorgueil to tickle their palates, others revel in the vestiges of centuries past, savouring the piquant anecdotes that every building and side street evokes. Its history really begins in when King Philippe Auguste created the central Paris marketplace, later known as Les Halles. A large shelter was built for the vendors to sell their wares, and soon merchandise was arriving by donkey and horseback from all across France.

Alongside the oyster merchants opened numerous auberges, cabarets and restaurants. In , Le Rocher de Cancale opened at 59 rue Montorgueil, before moving in to a 17th-century building at 76 rue Montorgueil.

Nevertheless, their Cancale oysters are still supremely fresh. Lovers of the delicacy will savour them prepared traditionally with garlic and parsley butter, but also with foie gras, truffles or even flakes of carat gold. The scene depicted is shocking to modern eyes: a shirtless black man serving coffee to a seated white man in colonial attire.

I see the bread, the photo of the bread, and I smell and taste it. For me travelling is all about food!! I love your food posts, Jenny! I always get hungry after I read them. This brought me back to Paris and reminded me of why I love the city and its food markets. We loved Rue Cler the last time we were there. We will need to explore Rue Montorgueil next time.

Thanks Mary. I believe Rue Cler is great so I must check it out when next we visit. I can just imagine the aroma right now. Thanks Jo. The displays of the fruit and vegetables were fabulous. They enticed you stop and buy all the time, especially the berries which were abundant at this time of the year. Mmm, my fave breakfast is a small cafe-au-lait and a pain-au-chocolate. Though up here in Scandinavia, sweets for breakfasts are considered practically a sin.

Love your photos and long for Paris, for the food but even more for the atmosphere. Great pictures, I love markets, I visited those in Provence and they were great, so many typical products and a real burst of colors! Every where I go, the markets are ususally my first port of call!

They are so much fun and give a great insight into the community. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Angela. My mouth is watering! If I visited there, I would spend the whole day strolling the market and snacking.

It looks so yummy. I always enjoy food shopping in a new place. Hubby is often heard wondering why we are going to another market…I just love them! All those delicious looking pastries!

And the cheeses! The pastries and cheeses are so fabulous in Paris. Just to wander into a cheese shop is heaven. I can imagine that your selection is not brilliant in the Philippines. Australia has some fabulous local produced cheeses but unpasteurized cheeses are still not allowed into the country. And dear god, that cheese… so much cheese!! Thanks Jade. Can you imagine how it was staying around the corner and walking down the street every time we came home!

I love cheese shops! They always know some interesting, delicious way to prepare the food or provide great suggestions as to what to serve with it. Create a personalised ads profile. Select personalised ads. Apply market research to generate audience insights.
