paris 3: samedi


Saturday we spent wandering the Marais district.  Stopping at the Musee Carnavalet - showing the history of Paris, but it was much to lovely to be in-doors for very long, so out to the Place des Vosgues, the oldest planned square in Paris.


Macaron break in the Place des Vosgues plus great people watching. I love the red sneakers on this guy lying on the grass.


Some window shopping, some vintage shops, and more people watching.
 


Derek took a great series of photos of people outside this shop (while I was inside rummaging for just a little bit).


Lovely wooden doors and bicycles.



 It was just to nice to spend time inside the Pompidou, as much as I like it. So we enjoyed the inside-outed exterior.


Some sights heading back and along the river.


Sunset on the bridges.


Notre Dame.


Shakespeare and Company (the famous English book shop) is open late, so we spent the evening looking through old books in the upstairs loft. There's lots to look at.
