Every two or three blocks in Paris, you will find a "boucherie" (butcher shop).  If it is a really good shop, there will be a line and the glass cases will sparkle.  It will appear incredibly clean and bright, the meats bright pink and red.  The butchers will have smiles on their faces explaining to the customers about their purchase and advice on preparation.

It is typical to have a large rotisserie spinning slowly with speared plump brown chickens cooking.  Skinned potatoes are often sitting in a pan underneath the chickens waiting patiently for  all the juices to sweat their flavors onto them.

Grab a plump chicken, savory potatoes and you have the equivalent of French fast food.  It beats a Big Mac any day.......
