John Galliano, celebrated fashion designer and anti-Semite, delivered his now infamous Hitler-loving rant at favorite Paris bistro La Perle, located on rue Vieille-du-Temple in the Marais district.

Small world: Several years ago the Missus and I rented an apartment three doors down from La Perle. And in the ensuing years, I have obsessively bought baguettes from the patisserie four doors down from La Perle.

But we never went into the bistro itself.

It always seemed too hip for us.

Now we know why.
