The best part? Enjoy lunch in the sun on Boulevard Voltaire amidst dozens of nostalgic food stands. Indulge in Corsican charcuterie, Lyonnais sausages, Guémené or Vire andouille, Savoy cheeses, wines from Mâcon, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Alsace. All the finest French delicacies await, ready to be savored with no moderation. Yum!
