Brasserie Le Bouquet du Nord

Last night we ended at “Bouquet du Nord” in the mostly Black neighborhood Saint-Raoul. Violinist Stéphane Grappelli lived opposite this cafe and used to come in for a drink and jam with the tziganes.

These guys were terrific here kicking ass on “Sweet Georgia Brown” (I couldn’t resit exclaiming “take me home Daddy!” after the guitar solo at 1:20)

We had a lovely time at Le Bouquet du Nord. Hope to visit again for gypsy jazz.
