May 2009 - A Chocolate Wonderland

In April, we returned to a bistrot where we had not dined for some time, and discovered that the food was just as good as we remembered it. We give a full report about our experience at La Robe et Le Palais in our restaurant review Le Bon Goût.

Until the mid-twentieth century, the thirteenth arrondissement of Paris was home to a great number of manufacturing facilities, including a chocolate factory. We give an account of the Meunier-Lombart plant in our feature Paris, Past and Present.
