Initial Paris Wanderings, 2023

Pix from a variety of orientation walks, from April 29th, generally within a kilometer from our apartment...

At Luxembourg Garden; never enough flowers

Luxembourg pond, where we took Penelope sailing in 2014

Pony ride HQ; she did it twice

St. Sulpice, which we visited with Tawana and Wes in 2012

Looking toward Mont Parnasse and the tower there;
new to us, but we'll be going there for the Wednesday/
Saturday market, other things

Deux Magots, where we had drinks with Marc and Pat Johnson,
humanities friends, in 2014

St. Germain de Pres, oldest still going in Paris

High season, river tour boats full, the Louvre across the river, just
downstream from the Cite; straight shot via Rue de Rennes

Oldest still-going restaurant in Paris

We have to go there, since procope means onion soup, a favorite

A bit of Luxembourg palace, where the French senate meets

We got into bouillons in 2021, mostly for their
fin de siecle looks; this one, near Montparnasse
has awful reviews for the food, but we'll do it
anyway for the looks

Seeing more and more art deco buildings in this area

At Marche Raspail, a couple blocks away; Paris'
organic market; a big poulet roti lasted us three dinners

Whistler's abode

No indication where his mother lived

Nice art nouveau down the street

Chicken tenders at the Marche Edgar Quinet, Montparnasse, which
will be our market; half a mile walk, but worth it...very similar to
the Bastille market, less crap, less crowded, many great shops and
stores nearby

Largest artichokes ever, so far

Feet in vinegar: aren't there supposed to be four?

Rhododendron honey, which we couldn't resist; anyone got a recipe
using rhododendron honeycomb?

Not Mrs. Paul's fish sticks
