La Rentrée

The re-entry, the re-immersion, the return. That's what September is all about in France*, when everyone returns from their months-long summer vacation fired up and ready to get back to work (or hit the books). So it's fitting that I timed my own rentrée for September-- when the streets are abuzz and France hums back to life after a sleepy, sunny summer. First stop? Why the restaurant at Pont Saint-Etienne, of course, for the best desserts in town.

*besides truffle-hunting and mushroom gathering!
