Paris, Proust and Pans
This morning we went to thé Marais and to the Musée Carnavalet to see the remodeled museum and the Marcel Proust exhibit. The museum seemed much larger and so much so that I had to ask directions on how to find the exit. I enjoyed the Proust exhibit and the paintings that accompanied it.
We walked over to the Place des Vosges and enjoyed the fountains and shopping along the way.
Next we took a cab to the Les Halls district to E. Dehillerin to view (and possibly buy) their copper pans. Incredible store that recently celebrated their 200th anniversary. Very kind and informative sales people and we all bought a few goodies!
Later in the evening we went to the Musée d’Orsay as they are open until 9:30 on Thursday nights. It was lovely to be there without many people and take photos without the back of a head in my photos!
And the sunset was positively dramatic…..
Sorry for the photo quality but it’s a photo from my iPhone taken off my camera. I promise to head over to the Apple Store today to get a transfer cable today! But you get the idea of the beauty of this sunset thru the d’Orsay’s restaurant window.
Finished the evening with a late night dinner at Le Deux Magots outside in the brisk evening air.
Bonjour. 2 suggestions. We loved ANIMA at 78 rue du Cherche-Midi which was very near our hotel on Rue L'Abbe Gregoire. Great pizza and Italian in modern setting and if you don't reserve you can sit at the counter in back, in front of the cute pizza maker. Also, friend here at Patiesserie Rotha recommended DU PAIN ET DES IDEÉ yesterday when I told him you were in Paris. Stay Safe ,T
