A fun day, starting with race of the waiters, an annual event of 3km where waiters from various restaurants and cafes must carry a tray with a glass of water, a coffee and croissant around a 3km course. Starts and ends at Hotel de Ville. After that it was off to the Bastille market for a galette of Sausage, cheese and onion jam. Then over to the Marche d’Aligre. A half dozen oysters at Le Baron Rouge rounded of the morning and lunch. Met up with John R. At favorite L’Avant Comptoir du Terre and it ended up being pretty off the hook. Initially quite crowded, then the early crowd left and at some point, songs, seem to be known to everyone came on, the lights were turned off and the whole bar was dancing. This went on for various iterations for quite awhile. Very amusing!
