FAQ & Sunday Summary: Bio, vegetarian and all that jazz.

On most of the websites I’ve worked on/at, there have been the inevitable questions about where to get bio and vegetarian produce and meals and I must say, as when I’m asked what hotel to stay at in Paris, I come up short. But recently in A Nous Paris, Smael Bouaici wrote an invaluable guide to what Richard Gere in Chicago called “All that jazz.” So here, shamelessly stealing from M. Bouaici, is what I gleaned.
