Lucky lady! Wow! What a meal. All the Alsacienne classics looked delicious. Les plats looked really big too. I am like you and enjoy desserts very much. I hope you had some company (aside from Mei Mei - sp?) to share the food with. I look forward to your next neighborhood video. Merci, Elle!

    Hi Gabrielle, I've just found your videos. I love Paris and cannot get there as much as I'd like at the moment so it's a treat to be able to follow you. The Brasserie Bofinger looks incredible, I've visited the Brasserie Lipp on several occasions but not Bofinger ... the portions of food looked generous and the interior fittings very fin de siècle. I am sure someone has helped you with Tilleul in many of the comments below but it's made from the leaves of the Linden or lime tree and is good for the digestion among other things.

I hope this doesn’t seem like an odd request, but I would love to see how you put on your cat eye make-up! Tell me the brand of the black eyeliner you use and do a short tutorial! I can never do it correctly! Wendy from Tucson, Arizona

I’m very excited. Si jamais tu reviens au Canada et que tu visites le Québec, il me fera plaisir de te faire quelques suggestions de choses à visiter.
