Plus de la rive gauche, à Bon Marche

Our long Thursday walk continued...
The house, now museum, of Eugene Delacroix, administered by the Louvre
















The Jim Thompson store in Paris--really Thai'd things together for me--Vicki
and Rachel were unimpressed
















Wagner lived in Paris a couple times, neither very happily, here working on The Flying 
Dutchman and over-seeing production of Rienzi (as I recall)

















Probably on one of the upper floors




















All over Paris now this is the one sign you see in the store windows...the July
SALE is on!
















Among Rachel's goals for the day was a visit to the City Pharmacy...so
crowded she elected to return the next morning







A Rolls pulls into the Bon Marche lot...





























The Rive Gauche Bon Marche















Interesting sculpture in the store; here, entering the book department
















We made for the Food Hall, skipping the, um, interesting D-Day beer, but
collecting a variety of cheese, creams, foie gras, and other goodies

















On the way home, a remnant of one of the earlier Guimard Metro stations
