Paris shopping and stuff

I’d been looking forward to going to Antiq-photo since we arrived in Paris. They have a huge selection of old cameras and stuff and their shop is as much museum as saleroom. Today was the day that we headed in their direction. Of course they were shut. Paris tip: open hours are not necessarily open hours. Next time I go I’ll call ahead and make sure there is somebody around. Although, it probably saved me a fortune.

You could hire a little sailboat to play with on the pond

We had a great walk thorough the Jardin du Luxemburg, spent the afternoon exploring the Palais de Justice (historical note - the French Revolution was not a fun time) and made our way back to the hotel for a splendid dinner. Then, refreshed, we headed out again to the Arc de Triomphe. We got there just as the sun was setting and it was a lovely place to be.

I had to risk my life to get this picture

Then it was back to the hotel, a quick drink and then bed.
