For dinner we took the recommendation of friends for classic French cuisine at La Fontaine du Mars. Starting out with Foie de Gras (until recently illegal to serve in Chicago), we also sampled delicious dishes of Mullet, a regional fish, and classically prepared Canard (duck). Finishing off the meal (and us in the process) were two very French chocolate delights. Even though the French dine later than we're accustomed to we had time to walk to the Eiffel Tower, adjacent to the Place de la Concorde, which we'll hear more about later in the week. The Eiffel Tower is a beautiful structure which is lit at night with subtle blue floodlamps.
