During my mind-blowingly wonderous time spent in Paris, I frequented the Richard Lenoir market in the Bastille on Sunday mornings. Paris' biggest outdoor market, Richard Lenoir is where the fromagers, boulangers, patissiers, charcutiers, and produce sellers conglomerated to make my weekend complete and completely awesome. One particularly noteworthy vendor was "La Reine de Poulet" (The Queen of Chicken), who roasts plump birds on the rotisserie and lets their succulent drippings soak into the potatoes resting below. Take one home- or two, if you happen to invite poultry-loving Charlotte over for dinner- reheat in the oven, tear the succulent meat off the bones WITH YOUR FINGERS, dip in dijon mustard, and float right on up to poulet heaven. 
La Reine de Poulet herself! Serving up her prize-worthy poultry in paper bags, and topping them off with tender chicken gravy-soaked potatoes.
