Final Day with Family
Bonjour,
We’ve had a full, very full, week with James and Andrew and their visit comes to an end with many memories.
Since it was Sunday, we spent the morning at the Bastille market. I must have a 1000 photos from over the years but took just a few more to give you a flavor. It is iconic, no matter the season and is a total sensory experience: sight, smells, sounds, sometimes touch unless you get scolded…ha! And occasionally taste if you’re offered a sample. The crowds were huge which was a bit surprising.
We stepped just across the street to Cafe Francais for their wonderful brunch and got a surprise visit from who else but S.C.!
For the afternoon, James and Andrew made a journey to the Left Bank while L & B pretty much crashed. We met for a quick dinner and said our warm Au Revoirs after a delightful week. They headed back to Nashville early this morning.
Today is catch-up, rest, and laundry day as life does go on. We cancelled our dinner with Chantal tonight because of Bernie’s really bad cold and will catch her after we get back.
Still trying for day tix to see the windows at Notre Dame.
Have a good week,
L & B
P.S. Two additional photos from our day at Montmartre…first Le Moulin Rouge and right across the street a Five Guys. Just seems so wrong to me!

Love the market! Five Guys “don’t seem right!”

I totally agree!

We could almost smell and feel the market! So glad you had a wonderful time with James and Andrew, and Bernie’s cousins, but so sorry you’ve both been under the weather. Stay home, get cozy, and rest up.
