-Late lunch at Le Bistrot Du Peintre since 1902
-” Don Carlos” at Opera Bastile @operadeparis
in Paris, France
After visiting the Museum of Decorative Arts, we moved to the Bastille for a late lunch. We stumbled upon and entered an Art Nouveau bistro that has been in business since 1902.
We ordered onion gratin soup, foie gras terrine, and beef steak to share. The onion gratin soup was so good that we ordered it again.
After that, we went to the Opera Bastille to see an Verdi's opera "Don Carlo". I booked the tickets 3 months in advance, but they were almost sold out, so I recommend booking very early.
That's Paris. The orchestra and singers each had about 100 members. The singers were outstanding. Great voices and volume.
The production was in a modern style, so my son said he would have preferred a more classical stage decoration, but it was really wonderful.
