Here’s the answer to last night’s Guess the Pub, my craftiest so far. Tavarn Ty Elise, run by Byn from Merthyr in the middle of Finistère, though to be honest I’d have guessed it was somewhere near Maenclochog from those clues. If I hadn’t edited the photos (all from Google Maps) you’d have seen the… Continue reading Ffarwel, Byn

PISSOIRS & PARISIAN PUBS (SORT OF)
Last post from France before I head toward Alton Towers. Phew. Two myths to debunk first. First, Paris didn’t stink (come back in Summer though), it was perfectly pleasant, bar the risk of stepping in newly laid dog mess; don’t they have laws ? And the French were courteous and efficient in the face of… Continue reading PISSOIRS & PARISIAN PUBS (SORT OF)
PARISIAN MICROPUB HUNT

Blog views overnight from Oman, Pakistan and India, but none from France, so I think I’m safe with an honest perspective on the capital. Our tourist route took us away from… Continue reading POMPIDOU AND CIRCUMSTANCE
NO CASK AT LE FROG & ROSBIF
Day 2 of our Paris Match, and I’m despatched by Mrs RM to get the croissants, something you can only legally do in France. This is the view from the Adagio at Montmartre. That’s right; you can’t see a single micro pub. Montmartre is the quirky heart of Paris, and more importantly has lots of… Continue reading NO CASK AT LE FROG & ROSBIF
MOULIN MURK
I know you’re desperate to see my holiday snaps from Paris by now, so here’s the highlights from the great Montmarte to Galeries Lafeyette crawl. I’ll say this; it’s no Wolverhampton, is it ? Loads of specialist cheese and cake shops down Rue des Martyrs, but where are all the pubs ? It’s no wonder… Continue reading MOULIN MURK
