Paris Out-Takes, 3

Break-neck amber necklace

Since Napoleon--I have read--philosophy has been in the high school
curriculum, and the most dreaded of the week-long exams you have 
to take to get your diploma (baccalureate) is the "philo"; above are a
selection of study guides for the bac philo at the local FNAC

No end to the bicycle variations one sees

Free library

Inside

Vicki became nearly a regular at the Bread and Roses patisserie
around the corner from our apartment; the lemon tart, I agree, was
the best ever

The hot patisserie of the moment, however, was Cedric
Grolet, up by the Palais Garnier

Lines like this at all hours

Their stuff did look yummy, but...€7 for a croissant?!

Joyeux anniversaire at Le Grand Colbert; the party was French,
but, strangely, the staff sang in English

I can't remember now whether it was bream or brill, but, from now
on I'm sticking with salmon; or tuna

Weeks into our stay we discovered that Paris bus stops have built-in
USB charging stations [click to enlarge]

Chinois take-out from Galeries Lafayette

Carries his own holy hydration

Nice chapeaux display

School for waiters (nyuk, nyuk...)

OK to view in Florida

In a shop that manufactures the woven vinyl cafe chairs we like;
not inexpensive

Heating elements for raclette cheese

Fisherperson hoping to reel in some change

Daredevil seating along the quai

I have become fairly adept at shucking...the appetizer for...

The best seafood repas I had in Paris; at Maison Chez Mark

What a great way to repurpose an old phone booth.
