Paris, December, 2001 - Day 6

December 25, 2001

"And so this is Christmas." We got a late start on purpose - we figure the Jewish quarter may be open, so we're heading there. I finished South and started Brunelleshi's Dome by Ross King.

We walked by the old synagogue - we didn't go in because the doors were closed and people were going in and out on business.

We ate lunch at Chez Jo Goldenberg. Aviva had gefilta fish and stuffed grape leaves; I had turkey escalopes "viennise" style. The food was really good and a nice change from provincial French cooking. And, it was open for lunch on Christmas...

 

We then walked over to the Jewish museum.

Dinner is at Chez Vous, a Chiness restaurant (there's one in New York City), which is located among tawdry sex shops surrounded by large department stores near the Arc de Triumph. The food was excellent.
