Dinner Wed at Agape Substance
Lunch Thursday at l' Arpege Dinner Au Vieux Comptoir
Lunch Friday at Septime. Dinner at L'Arome
Lunch Saturday I am meeting a friend who has never been to Paris so I am abandoning Husband to the museums and taking her to quintessential chez l ami jean. Dinner very late at Le Verre Vole.
Sunday we are off to Auxerre visit a friend who is quite Ill. We will stay the night in Dijon and are thinking of Gourmands in Marsannay for dinner . Then we are off via Colmar to Strasbourg and haven't a clue for the 4 nights we are there. We return to Paris for a final night and are trusting the wise counsel of Delucacheesemonger and sucking it up to go to L Ami Louis. God smile on us please. So there it is. Have a go at it and I will report back the highs and hopefully few lows.....thanks.

I didn't care for Agape Substance but I think my opinion is in the minority. Loved Septime. I'd be very interested to hear what you find in Colmar/Strasbourg. Enjoy and please report back!

Les Gourmands in Marssanay is a good choice. As long as you don't have an issue with colors. The room we have eaten in is VERY purple & the others were bright as well. I recommend the Nanas apple tart (some name close to that) for dessert. Chez Guy just a bit further in Gevrey-Chambertin is even better food wise.

For the Paris stops, I'll just say what I'm sure many are thinking & have said before...for most people (not all) two big meals in a day is too much.

Have a good trip!

I agree, that is too many meals in a short time span in Paris. We find it diminishes the enjoyment/memorability. I highly recommend Le Gavroche in Strasbourg. We had a delicious meal there in December. The couple who own it (he cooks, she runs the front) are delightful.

Indeed so many of us have said before: When you do two major meals a day, you enjoy less instead of more.
