The weather is so changeable here this time of year that if you get a nice day, you must take advantage of it. That, plus the fact that schools having finished, the tourist hordes have begun to arrive.<\/p>\n
Sandy had class so Jessica and I wandered around until lunch. I had read about a place in Figaroscope last week and so we went. Turned out to be an excellent choice, Cinq-Mars, 51, rue de Verneuil (can’t say words that have that -u-i-l combination for some reason) in the 7th, just behind the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay (unfortunately, closed today).<\/p>\n
After lunch, to work off the\u00a0cr\u00e8me brul\u00e9e et riz au lait<\/em>, which don’t sound so fattening in French for some reason, we hiked up and down the Seine across the bridges, hitting 5 or 6 of them.\u00a0On the way home, saw a famous French film star walking her dog.<\/p>\n Jessica and I then had a nap but she, still having some jet-lag, at least had an excuse.<\/p>\n The place we wanted to try was closed so we had dinner at a relatively new bistro, made to look old, P\u00e8res & Filles, 81, rue de Seine. Un-blogworthy cuisine. (Old food made to look new?)<\/p>\n Having been on the bridges all day, we went under them at night on the Bateaux Mouches although on the way back towards the moor, it got a little chilly, had to duck down into the cabin. Still, as touristy as this is, it’s a great way to see Paris, especially at night. Apart from anything else, the Eiffel Tower sparkles and glows.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
