You certainly don't need to spend a lot of money in Paris to have good food. It was one of those cities where everything was yummy, and 6€ bottles of wine were delicious.
That said, I always wondered why some wine cost so much ... and after the 200€ bottle ... I knew.
Ahem, it was still a barely mid-priced bottle in the restaurant's (Tour d'Argent) War-and-Peace-thickness wine book. And, though I dread feasting on cute baby animals like veal ... this place has specialized in baby duckling since the 12th Century .... and, yeah, it was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.
