Last few days in Paris

Albert visited for a day so we headed out with him and Mel on her last day. We strolled along the river..


..and up through the passageways passing the old Le Procope restaurant..


..to the Luxembourg Gardens..





..to Les Papilles restaurant for lunch



The homeward journey was via the 5th arrondissement and the old streets around Rue Mouffetard..


..and the Arena de Letuce


We hit another brocante street market on Saturday morning


Lots of fascinating stuff


and a new hat for Pippa


We had a quick lunch at a brasserie, for Bob, hamburger with foie gras, a first


And croque chevre for Julie


Gill and Tony came over from England for a few days, so there were lots of outings with them


We even came across a religious procession outside Notre Dame


We revisited the brocante market


Discovered more photogenic buildings...


....street artists...


...and colourful posters.


We all met up at Pottoka for lunch






Then walked home via the Tour..


...and the river past Pont d'Alma...



...with wonderful evening light


On other outings we managed coffee in the Luxemburg Gardens..




..and strolled the shops along Rue de Rennes


Freddie of course, continued to pose in new outfits
