Pain. Vin. Fromages (4e)

The aromas coming from Pain. Vin. Fromages, while literally about 1/2 a block away, are especially captivating and tempting to say the least. In fact, this is how I found the cozy family-style restau (as the French call restaurants) owned by two brothers in the Marais district.
