Cara’s Paradis Picks

    “Little India:” If you’re looking for Indian groceries and supplies, rue du Faubourg-St.-Denis, at the Gare du Nord.
    Chez Michel: 10, rue de Belzunce, 75010 Paris. Wonderful menus from a Breton chef. cc. (H7–8) Brasserie Flo, 7, cour des Petites-Écuries, 75010 Paris. With Julien (see next entry), the foundation of an empire.
    Restaurant Julien: 16, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, 75010 Paris. With Brasserie Flo, the two flagships of the Flo empire. Which has the more beautiful room?
    Derya: 16, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, 75010 Paris. Right next door to Julien, a Turkish restaurant with a warm welcome and a brilliant kitchen.
    Restaurant Le Vaudeville: 29, rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris. Perhaps the most lively of the retro brasseries. Always dependable—and open late.

Murder in the Latin Quarter (September 1997)

    A Haitian woman arrives at the office of Leduc Detective and announces that she is Aimée’s sister, her father’s illegitimate daughter. Aimée is thrilled. A virtual orphan since her mother’s disappearance and her father’s death, she has always wanted a sister. Her partner, René, is wary of this stranger, but Aimée embraces her and soon finds herself involved in murky Haitian politics leading to murder. The setting is the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank of the Seine, in the old university district of Paris.
