A culinary treasure from the local brocantes
Recently, we took a long weekend trip to Paris—a much needed break from the daily reality, especially just now. Instead of heading out of the city to the famous flea markets, we opted to stay in town and explore the neighborhood antique galleries, local brocantes, and weekend markets.
