Every Parisian thinks that the arrondissment that they live in is the best–including me. I happen to know for certain that the 17th is the very BEST arrondissment with one of the only farmer's markets open seven days a week.
I go to one produce vendor who sells nothing but gorgeous vegetables. He's so popular that often I have to wait in line just to get a look at what's fresh. Today when I arrived there was the most beautiful radicchio that I have ever seen. Just like a huge rose. I sampled the leaves and they are sweeter than the normal small round purple radicchio but still refreshingly bitter. Can 't wait to make a gorgeous salad of sliced pears, arugula, radicchio, crumbled bleu cheese and champagne vinagrette. Should be delicious...
