Le Bar à Huîtres

The impact of a pilgrimage lies more in the journey than the destination, and Chuck and I enjoyed the journey sitting around telling our old Paris stories last night.

As to the destination, the well-known Bar à Huîtres, where he has been several times over the years, it was good, but I’ll remember the journey more.

I think you should go there:

—- with your fiancée, because gazing in her eyes you won’t notice the slow service

—- after your first big promotion, because at that moment money is no object, and

—- while on your first foreign vacation, because then you and the people on the street gawking at you will be equally delighted by the giant crustacean platter billowing dry ice smoke.
