Le Bistro

There is something very special about the French bistro.The large coloured canopies announcing the

bistros presence to the world, the striped chairs that are particular to the French.

The purpose of the waiter as he balances his tray full of drinks, dancing around the patrons, creating order yet making people welcome.

His excellent knowledge of local produce and the specials of the day.

We have eaten some fabulous meals at our favourite bistros, watching Parisians go about their daily life.

Listening to snippets of conversations; mothers and daughters, students catching up together after a long absence,lovers recalling yesterday and just enjoying each others company over a plate du jour and a good Bordeaux.
