Raclettes are from northern alpine France in involve gooey table-side melted cheese, grilled potatoes, and (optionally) a cured meat. So fun and satisfying to eat, especially during cold weather. 🥶 #tinyurbanparis #tinyurbaneurope #tinyurbantravels #… instagr.am/p/ClQuXbIBBxV/

Birthday lunch: even though I knew the sandwich was famous, I also love buckwheat galettes. Soooo, I ordered one of these as well. It was a massive galette filled with caramelized onions, emmenthal cheese, ham, and herbs. @chezalainmiammiam #tinyurbantrainstagr.am/p/ClObSFzBMxU/
