I do not have much to report today as it was just another typical day in Toulouse. It was beautiful so I went for a long walk. Then had an Aperol spritz at Le Reserve and dinner at Le Panache.

After discussing food the other day and at the suggestion of a friend, I decided to break my lunch routine and decided to try some Vietnamese food in France.

There have been some changes to the menu all three that I had were fantastic. I was… Read More Another fun night at La Panache
