All of the pics are from my iPhone. What an amazing device. These are some of the things I will miss when we leave on Saturday.
Our neighborhood in Montmartre Our apartment – “old Paris style”
Bakeries like Du Pain et des Idees (Bread and Ideas) in the Canal St. Martin district
Baguettes from our local boulangerie, Maison Laurent
Our favorite restaurant: Au Virage Lepic on Rue Lepic
Burrata: A soft Italian buffalo cheese from Italy at Oggi on Rue Lepic. It’s the best appetizer ever
The Seine from Quai Voltaire
Musee d’Orsay: Sacre Coeur through the Clock window
View of Notre Dame from the Batobus
Giverny: Lily ponds and Monet’s dining room
Monet paintings
The painting that gave Impressionism its name
Chagall’s Palais Garnier Opera ceiling
Break dancers on Rue Montorgueil
Roland Garros: M watching the Djokovic match on the giant screen
And the friends we saw and spent time with here – Johnny Price and Margherita, Jon and Leslie Maksik, Ruti and Gerard Mesnil, Steve and Karen Demorest, Susan Ireland – and all the Parisians who put up with my butchered French and still made us feel welcome.
