Paris: Caviar

In the evening we had arranged to have dinner with Laurent Kratz who runs Jamendo, a music web site that we think is very cool. John had met him during his recent trip to Paris so I was glad our schedules were synced and we had a chance get together.

Laurent had a meeting near the Champ Elysee so we agreed to meet in front of the Virgin Megastore there. I had the crazy idea that I would find a cd box set of Couperin harpsichord music I wanted and incredibly they had it so I was very pleased.

We went to a restaurant nearby called Petrossian. They specialise in caviar. Oh dear. I'm not into that stuff but Laurent and John are so I figured they'd have something not repulsive that I could eat and they did. John and Laurent loved the caviar (see photo). I had a lovely soup and then lamb as a main.

We had champagne, of course, and the restaurant was lovely. We requested to be seated in the non-smoking section and I don't know if it's that good all the time but we were not bothered by smoke at all during the evening.

Laurent is a really fun and interesting person and I'm glad we had the opportunity to spend some time with him. He and John will be able to get together pretty soon during a future trip John is planning.

When we walked back over the bridge to the Champ Elysees to catch the Metro I saw the Eiffel Tower was illuminated! So pretty. Wow, I'm in Paris!
