Rue de la Huchette is an animated Latin Quarter artery with one of the highest concentrations of restaurants in the city. Greek specialties dominate.

We had been eating lamb gyros for a modest price, and it was through the narrow medieval streets of this historic district in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France that we found this enchanting pub.

Beers were exceptionally affordable at $3Euros each, and it was chilly outside. So we wandered in to the promised warmth on the velvet couches and chairs.
