A Typical Day in Paris

Our dear friends, Carol and Charlie, arrived on Saturday from Washington, D.C. With no time to spare, off we went for a typical day in Paris.

Starting with a flexible plan with the help of the Internet, tour books, and maps...



First stop - Musee Rodin for a stroll through the beautiful gardens that display his statues...




Then a little sustenance...


Oh regard! (aka LOOK!), there's Les Invalides!



Steps from Musee Rodin, we find Napoleon's modest little tomb...



And a few unassuming statues...



Time for more sustenance at Le Relais de l'Entrecote (oooh, love those steak and frites - this coming from a non-beef eater, but when in Paris...) along with a serenade from a street band...


More strolling on the Left Bank to Place St. Michel...


And at last, more sustenance in the form of Champagne cocktails on a boat by the Seine, again with street music and this view...



Good night, Paris. (Je t'aime!)

And, by the way, welcome to Paris, Carol and Charlie...
