Thirty-Four: Sometimes there are Weekends in Paris
In mid October we spent an easy going, non-itinerary weekend in Paris. We stayed near the Pantheon. Visited it (meh). Had breakfasts at Maison Kayser. Walked along Saint-Germain and through the Marais. Have I mentioned how much I love the Paris metro? A thing of beauty. Dinner at Kitchen Galleries Bis - asian-french fusion. Lunch at L'As du Fallafel in the Marais; the line is daunting but it moves fast and the fallafel is so worth it. Visited Galleries Lafayette. Stopped in Musee de l'Orangerie for Monet's Water Lillies, but also really liked their other impressionists/post impressionists (Cezanne in particular) and expressionists. I discovered twisted Chaim Soutine and have been thinking about him for weeks now...
