Paris Mini GTG

---

Today 3 couples who had never met, joined together for lunch in a Paris Mini Fodors GTG. All we had in common was we post on the Fodors Travel Forum.
We chose to meet at Cottage Marcadet in the Montmartre district of Paris. This restaurant has only been open for a year and a half and according to positive reviews by Zagats and Pudlo it is well on its way to some notoriety. Our appetizers varied from saumon fume, pied de veau, a veloute de roquette de fleurs, and a risotto avec legumes.
We chose plat principals of caille rotie, lapin, cabillard and a vegetarian selection.
a wonderful St Emillion was there to enjoy.
None of us had dessert but the delices were marvellous.
One couple lives in New Hampshire, one lives in Denver Colorado and one lives in Northern Ontario.
It was amazing how well we got along (I think). Conversation revolved around travel and France seems to be a favorite of us all, Paris particularly. We chatted about apartment vs. hotels, Province, carry on vs checked luggage, travel security, feelings about Italy, French food vs American food and why some of us don't want to try anywhere other than France. Shower peculiarities in France kept us laughing for awhile. Of course we discussed restaurants we liked.
Then some of us go to talking about important things like bass fishing vs. walleye fishing.
The partcipants were:
