More Pariggi

Well some assorted shots of wandering around with the locals .... or taking shots of whatever took our fancy. A lot of restaurants are closed on Sundays, so we had to take our chances with that was open. I had already booked us into the Grand Cascade for dinner, and then to an old favorite for lunch on Monday - Caves Petrissans in the 17th. But what to do for lunch. When we came across the Brasserie Lorraine, we felt sure that we would get a quiche here, as well as some soup. It proved to be just what the doctor ordered ... and Donald Sutherland was leaving as we sat down, so if its good enough for him, its good enough for us. Senor Sutherland looked resplendant in his old age, very much a movie star who ages well and has no need of botox or others little aids ... No pic ... sorry ... not really into celeb snapping ... let them eat in peace is what I say.
We had other things to do, such as marvellous Soupe de Poisson and some excellent Quiche Lorraine.

Sometimes, its just nice to sit and relax ...

Then off we went to walk and get some air. Nice street scene below.

some pesky local caught in our lens crossfire

you've got to hand it to the french .... in nyc we put all sorts of crappy posters around construction sites. Whereas here, they let artistic freedoms roll ..

The triumphal arc .... how resplendant she looks bathed in the soft winter light

and a very, very, cute cinquecento (how could I not post about cars ....)
