Heading out from the Gare d'Austerlitz on the #5 Metro in the direction of Bobigny-I made the change at the Bastille to the #1 Metro line in the direction of La Defense, exiting at one of my favorite stops...the Palais Royal Musée du Louvre. I wanted to pick up a couple of thank you gifts and knew that the Rue de Rivoli was going to be my my easiest and best bet. I set out on foot, and found the perfect coffee mug for Evelyn and coasters for Jean. Continuing on down the Rue de Rivoli, I saw St. Eustache framed by buildings at the end of the street on my left. I decided to wander through Les Halles, and maybe make my way there. I came upon:
A darling spot to curb your dog, not too far from some of my favorite style benches and fountains. Needing a "curbing" spot of my own, I found my way to L'Eustache and treated myself to la toilette and a cappuccino before I headed back out to visit an old friend, light a candle or two, and continue my stroll past some old favorite haunts newly named.
When I looked even closer-my old favorite, Le Commerce, had become L'Assiette Aveyronnaise-that department I gaze at out my window every morning on the other side of the Lot. Old favorites might be gone, but home is around every corner...even in Paris!
We'll Continue My Paris Wander Tomorrow-A Demain!
