Another day, another walk (well, a ride on the Metro too) took us to the 16th to reconnoiter an apartment prospect on rue Poncelet. The apartment itself was attractive in photos, and the immediate neighborhood was pretty stunning. But the location was further away from the city center than we'd like. In any case, another explore, and more discoveries.

| Thus; click to enlarge; out beyond the Arc de Triomphe |
 |
| The architecture was pretty stunning |
 |
| What was really enticing were the shops just around the corner; best seafood market I've seen in Paris; #3 oysters €13/dozen |
 |
| So nice to be in a place that doesn't have state-controlled liquor sales |
 |
| Best of all, a Cyril Lignac patisserie |
 |
| Scene of the street market |
 |
| A block away was a beautiful art nouveau FNAC (media chain, among the largest of Paris' many bookstores) |
 |
| Alas, the beautiful windows could be viewed only from the 3rd floor inside |
 |
| Very interesting and attractive neighborhood, but... |
