Today we traveled to Place des Vouges a lovely square in the Marais. This the square with with Victor Hugos joke on one side. Again because the weather is so nice the locals were out in force drinking wine and sunning. We next walked to a small walled park that someone had told friend one about. It was trapped between four high white buildings and was approached only through an alley or the buildings. There were the past of the seasons roses still lovely but moving to blousey.
We went on to the Carnevelet, which houses a free museum of the history of Paris and some wonderful "belle époque" paintings. This museum too has a wonderful garden that we enjoyed for a bit before moving on.
We went to Rue Cler which is a permanent market street. There was some sort of festival going on and there were two brass bands playing. We stopped at a crepperiere for a crepe and coffee.. If was a wonderful spot for people watching and friend one and imade up some great life stories for the people passing by.
I did finally get my boulangerie croissant. It was so much better than the hotel variety.
Back at the hotel we continued the saga of the wrong dinner cruise.. The desk man is trying to get the charge reversed but so far has only gotten them to reduce the charge by one half. Not sure how this will finally work out. I only hope ww don't end up paying for two dinners. It really wasn't THAT good a dinner!
Tonight the Grand Palais and the Monet, I hope.
