Ah yes. One of the rare few places that actually had Linhof's
Technikardan on display. These are are rare as hens teeth in
Australia. And when you had enough window (or real) shopping, you stroll
back to the Bastille to recharge your batteries.

And it still has Europe's best cous cous and Vietnamese noodle soup!

You can certainly get got pho in Paris, but nothing beats the real
