Call me
old-fashioned, but sometimes I like old-fashioned places. One place that
does old-fashioned especially well is France. But I’m not the only one
who feels that way; people come from around the world to visit the city,
and bask in the à
l’ancienne charm, which is sometimes derisively described as carte postale Paris.
Like other cities, Paris is changing and isn’t a museum, per se, but
there’s something about the city that attracts people like no other city
in the world. Many visitors come specifically to eat. Which I know for a
fact because I came for the same reason.
 The loss of
bistros has been well-documented,
but there’s been a resurgence of interest in bistros that has sprung up
in New York,
London,
Tokyo,
and of course – even Paris,
where la cuisine
française is having a renaissance, too. But at some places,
it never left. One such place is Moissonnier, which is considered a bouchon lyonnais,
sending out plates of hearty, copious French food in the style of
the bouchons of
Lyon.
