Rose and Russkies: Boris: Paris: Tropez

Too sun tanned to call and too drunk to write, W4's most notorious correspondent, Boris sends in some chicken scratch notes from Paris and the South of France where he remains inebriated on Pampelonne surrounded by Rose and Russkie Women:

"Notes from recent travels. I may have gout and am under legal constraints to stay out of trouble (or at least keep it out of print for the time being) so here's a rough but clean rundown of my calmer consumption activities:

Paris
-Sole Meuniere and bottle of gran cru of Chablis @ Le Dome for dinner
-Grand Vefour: The 10-course tasting menu for lunch. Highlight foie gras ravioli with black truffle and cream. Pair with half bottle of Puligny Montrachet then a Bourgogne.
-La Cigalle: Fashiony crowd now. Camembert souffle to start, then the turbot, then the Rothschild souffle for dessert (involved vanilla souffle, candied fruits, ice cream, and Grand Marnier). Solid tasty meal, don't stray. Get table bordering outside but not on street.
-Carre des Feuillants: Happily surprised. Delicious fried grenouilles w/ cepes then a milk-fed veal with artichokes and morels. Excellent food paired with 2002 Perrot Munir Gevrey-Chambertin. Nightcap at Hemingway Bar.
George: (purely for the view), drinks/ a bottle of JW with a couple of my Argentinos at Le Who's Bar singing along to the French band attempting to do U2

Tourista Activities
-Jacquemart Andre Museum
-Musee de les Arts Decoratifs
-Walkthrough at Bagatelle

St. Tropez
-Going to the market (early)
-Dinner at one of the cafes around the Place des Lices
-Table du Marche: Sole meuniere but most importantly the mashed potatoes
-Club 55: Lunch. Always a fun classic, aside from some creepy black guy who is for some reason allowed by the club to roam the beach offering sexually aggressive footrubs. Crudites followed by the Pamplone salad then the sole (good because it's strangely light) dessert of Tarte Tropeziene w/ raspberries
-Les Palmiers: Less of a zoo than 55, kind of nice change of pace. Food not earth-shattering but not bad.

Chateau Saint Martin
A bit of a hike from St. Tropez but always worth it. Just such a beautiful spot and such a beautiful place. Overlooking Vence fromthe terrace. Having massive lumps of foie gras and then a delicious chicken served in two courses, one involving marination in fat and a Bouchard et Fils '96 Chevalier Montrachet. Sitting by the pool relaxing-so beautiful, may have to take up residence here.

Chaumiere: Amazing as usual! Crudites, potatoesque salad, cote des beauf and a baked muthafuckin potato. Paired with 98 Lynch Bages, chocolate mousse w/ homemade creme fraiche for dessert. Maybe a couple of whores from Nice for a dessert dessert?"
