Fête du Beaujolais Nouveau at La Bonne Franquette

Beaujolais Nouveau 2010 at the Auberge de La Bonne Franquette (corner of 2 rue de Saules and 18 rue Rustique, 18th). An evening of good food, good wine, and good company in the heart of Montmartre. Okay, maybe we had a bit too much wine...

Heather---

I can't tell you how jealous I am. It looks like a lovely restaurant. The last time I helped usher in the Beaujolais Nouveau was at Jacques Melac's bristo a vin in the 11th arr. It was a night when the wine---and the customers---all but flowed into the street. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

It's nice to ear from you.
It was a wonderfull evening and I totally agree with averything you say (well, after a second thought, I'm not so sure we really had too much wine...)

I'll also add a link to this article on my blog.
