French Expats in Merida

 

Not only do we have a number of French chefs like Yohann Chauvineau at Bistrot Cultural Eric and Veronique at Cafe Creme there is a French Chiropractor and one our regular petanque players Pierre Alexis de Saint-Prix has an office in Merida Espacio Quiropractico Frances.  For more information about the activities of the french community in Merida get in touch with Quoi de Neuf Merida

After the overwhelming success of the Franco-Yucateca couple Eric and Patty's La Fundacion Mezcaleria there was nothing left for them to do but open a cantina in the street that Patty grew up in.  La Negrita Cantina opened in 1917 and is still going strong.  Now if they will only open an after hours cafe we can spend 24 hours a day admiring their handiwork.

enjoy this photo of a reed ball sculpture picked up on the road between Tulum and Merida at the El Portico de la Candelaria until I get a photo of Pierre uploaded.
