    Another interesting post from Paris! Agree with you about Monde Arabe (terrace & my favourite thing is their exterior tiles …). Merci and have a great day L&B.

    Your photo showing the sign with info about Pauline Roland made me want to find out more about her…she was put on trial for her socialism, feminism and “debauchery” (couldn’t come up with anything better, I guess!) and subsequently, served 7 months in prison! Quite the activist!! Thanks for today’s pics… inspired me to do a little research!

    That garden is one of my favourite little Paris secrets !… It took me a few goes to find it initially but when I was there last year the roses were in full bloom and it was amazing !… It’s always a lovely quiet spot to rest weary legs after a day of walking… I finished reading Pancakes in Paris and it sounds like the read was more interesting than the experience !… He certainly did have many obstacles in his way in setting it all up… Disappointing re the omelette… Perhaps the obstacles and challenges are still presenting ! Look forward to tomorrow’s post !

    I always wonder why people want to be naked in the sun. When we went to Lido, from Venice, the beaches there were nude too. Oh well. This Florida girl will just complain about how my figure has changed and shows in in my bathing suit!

    The pictures of the islands are great. Don’t you love the water traffic too? I have to wonder where the first “village” was. And, I just can’t begin to imagine how so much was built, so beautifully, with so little.

    It’s hot here. I hope next week is perfect for all of you.

      Thanks, Barbara! Paris originally started on the island of Ile de la Cité and was called Lutece, I think, if memory serves me right. I need to research it again.

    I’m sorry you were disappointed in the Monde Arabe! It probably depends on the particular exhibits they happen to have on display. Loved the new jardin. We will add it to our list.
