The City of Light conjures up dozens of gastronomic delights: snails, frogs’ legs, bouillabaisse, pot au feu, boeuf bourguignon and….oysters?  Mais oui.  France is Europe’s number one grower, exporter and consumer of the bivalve extraordinaire.   King Louis XIV even had fresh oys­ters deliv­ered from Can­cale to Ver­sailles every day, or so the story goes.  So where is the best place for half shell cuisine in Paris?  The favorite appears to be Huîtrerie Régis.  Do you agree?
