Sunday, continued cool. Intermittent rain. Lots of walking again.

All lit up, after dinner walk back to the hotel.

First, after a hearty hotel breakfast up the Champs to see it and the new hip Galleries L. A stroll back the Champs to a post walk nap and then meet up with Bobby.

At the d’Orsey, natch.

We and youse saw the real one, here is an impression.

In addition to their great collection of impressionists there was a very special exhibition, one of the best we have seen in a while. Paintings, photos, film clips of Josephine Baker dancing, Cotton club clips, Manet’s great Olympia,on and on.

Model in this context is as a model for art and a model for society.

A great painting just becase …..

Dinner at Cafe du Commerce again. Another fine meal. Bobby and I had the soup de poisson, good but served far from hot, just barely warm.

Monday. A bit warmer and no rain.

Pompidou centre after breakfast, truffles and eggs for QB and Bobby, at Galleries Lafayette.

After Pompidou, which we decided not to enter as no interesting exhibits, we wandered Saint-Dennis and then over to Notre Dame so see the destruction. Walked around the cathedral and took numerous pics. Naturally could not get too close.

Eustace

Then over to have some Berthillon ice cream and then in the evening dinner at Bobby’s favorite place: l’Ambassade d’ Auvergne.

Bobby’s 32 hour lamb and alligot.

Tomorrow, London by rail.
