Le Procope

I had lunch at Le Procope today, the oldest restaurant in Paris.  Created in 1686 by an Italian, the Procope was the meeting place for great minds over the years, like Benjamin Franklin, Didierot,  and Robespierre.

There is a letter in one of the dining rooms by Marie Antoinette.

Some lace that was mounted in frames on the wall.

Just to prove I was there!

I had a shellfish soup with mushrooms.

The fish was delish! With chopped olives and tomatoes and virgin olive oil!
