Our street in Paris. We stayed in the 3rd Arrondissement and there are 20 of them. Arrondissements are governmental districts which are split in half by the Seine River. We stayed in the 3rd Arroondissement which is the Marais. This area is trendy and hip (as described in our guide book) it is also known as the gay district. The area was fun and there were some great restaurants to chose from. One in particular, Le Rouge Gorge was down the street from our hotel and had a great description in our guide book. We went several times and the owner Francois, while a curmudgeon, was really nice and his wife nicer. The food was good and the wine wonderful. Francois has a wine cellar downstairs so you can't go wrong with wine.
Francois' wife was very sweet and nice and helpful. We were told that there was a featured wine each week from areas in Paris. On one of the evenings we were there she had us try orange wine. It was wonderful and that night we ended up buying four bottles of wine. Besides Le Rouge Gorge we went to several other great restaurants. Our hotel had a Hollywood theme - strange but nice.
