Returning Library Books

The weather is fining up in Paris and walks are a lot further afield than usual and very pleasant.

Geoffrey is a member of Bibliothèques de la Ville de Paris. This gives him access to 69 municipal libraries. In Paris, Geoffrey is in library heaven.

Today, we went to la Bibliothèque Parmentier in the 11th arrondissement and then on to la Bibliotèque Saint-Eloi in the 12th. We live in the 4th which borders on to the 11th and 12th.

 

On walk to library.
At Place Léon Blum in the 11e. The Metro here is Voltaire.

Lunch with Damien at le Café Palais Royal / le Café Saint Honoré

194 rue Saint-Honoré 75001

Damien was our French tutor last year. He is an ex French footballer. We are keeping in touch. Last month we visited him, his wife Gaëlle and son Bastien - see earlier photo.
The restaurant he chose was closed for the week so we ended up at  le Café Palais Royal / le Café Saint Honoré on la Place du Palais Royal. Very French.

Restaurant was closed and not open for another week.

We ended up eating at Café Palais Royal at la Place du Palais Royal. Very French.
