Perfect to hide from rain but not recommended: Café Bar de la Ficelle (25. March 2017)
When it started raining we entered the first café there was and ended up at the Café Bar de la Ficelle – well, I guess else we wouldn’t have entered but given the rain, it seemed like the right option. The place was crammed and for more than 10 minutes we were not attended. After […]
