On the bridge to Ile de la Cite

Outside the Palais de Justice

Our evening ritual

Une pression , deux gin-tonics et un Pastis, s'il vous plait.

Monsieur, making sure the pectorals et al are fully displayed

Art

Anne has an eye for Art, as in this beautiful mosiac,

or lovely plinth (ith that the right word?)

or a slightly underdone duck,

but sometimes her work is a little deep for the rest of us.

Walking in Paris II

Anne talking to Owen and Kate

Further discussions about where to go ... up, or down the Champs Elysees

Peter finally found a bus to .....

... the Eiffel Tower!

Place de la Concorde

From here you can see the National Assembly ........

A night stroll

We had a pre-dinner drink in Place Ste Marthe, where a troup of local actors was conducting a mime theatre. Our French must be improving, as we were able to understand them.

The Pastis seemed to confuse the password, but we finally got inside.

Anne demonstrates the smallness of our ascensior, so small inh fact that ...

..even an elephant couldn't hold its trunk out sideways.

Bangkok Flower Market revisited

Roses of every colour
