Lunch on rue Rivoli

We enjoy wandering the streets of Paris. After a stroll through the flower market on Ile de la Cité we crossed over to rue Rivoli in search of lunch.

We found a table at a sidewalk café on the busy boulevard where we could watch pedestrians, cyclists, cars and fire engines navigate the busy street and sidewalk in front of us.

We shared a green salad, a magnificent cheese plate, and a carafe of red wine.

Is there a better way to spend a lunch hour in Paris?

The cheese was exceptional, and there was a lot of it. Our waiter was shocked we couldn't eat it all, and offered "un doggy bag." He carefully wrapped the cheese in foil so no kind touched another. We weren't sure when we would find time to eat our leftover cheese, but we dutifully carried it back to our hotel room.
