Although there is more than "one" Paris in the world,
there's really only one "Paris" in the world.
It is, of course, the capital of France.
In Paris, you can expect to eat well,
and there are literally thousands of good restaurants to choose from.
But often it's not the restaurant with lots of tables outside, high prices, and [a] glamorous entrance where you find the best food.
Sometimes, you have to look for the more modest restaurant to find that something special.
L'Ardoise is definitely something special.
It's tucked away in a street in the fashion district, and you're unlikely to be strolling past.
Even if you did stroll past, you'd be unlikely to stop.
The restaurant looks very ordinary, the decor plain.
But it should always be a clue when you find a restaurant filled with locals.
Parisians have found L'Ardoise, and they fill it at every opportunity.
Each dish is surprising and delightful, the wines [are] impeccable.
And at $24 for a three-course lunch, this must definitely count as my treat for today.
One of the most enduring and popular nights out in Paris is at the legendary Moulin Rouge.
The Moulin Rouge first opened in 1889 when Paris got its first taste of the "quadrille realiste."
The English later immortalized the dance as the cancan.
And it has been part of every show since.
The original cancan dancers were amateurs,
who worked as washerwomen by day and flashed their clean knickers by night.
Over the years, many stars have performed here --
Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Edith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier,
Elton John, Bing Crosby, Ginger Rodgers, and even the Village People.
Not everyone did the cancan, though.
It is renowned as one of the most demanding dances around.
