Walking In The 2nd And 8th

It was to be a day without a major destination, just a walk to see the Gallery Vivienne and environs and then to the Saint-Lazaire area to reconnoiter Brasserie Mollard. But anywhere in Paris will yield interesting sights along the way.

Shoe coloring shop

Galerie Vivienne; another of the 2nd's many passages

At a cafe; we think he might have been an extra just off the set
of Emily in Paris

Louis XVIII

Interior of Vivienne

In a shop that alters photos into painted portraits... a business 

model I could have gotten into

Another wing of Vivienne

Advert by mosaicist

Richileu national library being renovated

Another art nouveau resto to add to our list

Duck restaurant; seriously

Passage Choiseul

Moroccan resto

Thanks to Haussmann's mid-19th century redesign
of Paris, there are many buildings that start or end in
apexes; this is the first church we've seen, Saint-
Augustin's parish church in the 8th; designed by
Haussmann himself, a Protestant, to fit...

Not cruciform (!!)

We did make it to Mollard and will post pix in a subsequent episode
