Spent the morning sleeping in, doing laundry and finally got out the door around noon. We met Annie at the Église de la Madeleine. We were on foot on the chi chi boulevards and in the posh neighborhoods of the 1st and 2nd Arrondissements. Annie finally got to see the Arc de Triomphe up close and personal. Home by way of the grocery store. Dinner at the Vieux Bistro with Lucy Jane, and now home to bed.
I had hoped not to have to look at this guy's face in Paris, but it
was on every news stand!
La Église de la Madeleine (late 18th early 19th century)
Just completed a multi-year restoration
Mary Magdalene with angels; her bone is in another
cubby over a different altar
These put me in mind of pioneer temples and fancy
frontier hotels
Annie and Kris in the portico of La Madeleine
Gucci won me over with models of houses
Risking life and limb on the Champs-Élysées
That's a whoppin' arch
Alway cool your heels when you can
Down the Champs-Élysées
Bottom of our street: off to dinner
Vieux Bistro
Tartiflette au reblochon: best funeral potatoes ever
from the best school in France do
for fun: YMCA
We have and adventure planned for tomorrow, so there will be more.
OXO
