Paris 2014, Day 3

A short walk to the bakery for Croissant aux Amande, and then back for coffee.  We need to get a salad spinner and some olive oil so we headed out to explore the Carre Four and found a market just our side the store, we quickly explored the market and then when in to shop.  It’s a large store, which we knew, and found them doing construction which lengthened the time need for shopping, oh well!

Back to the apartment to drop of the items purchased then off to lunch, we check out a place close by but was too pricey for lunch and another cafe’s Plat du Jour did not appeal to Pat’, it may have been the Hache Steak with egg of Chevel (Horse).

We jumped on the metro and when to Place d’Iéna and walked down Avenue d’Iéna and selected the Brasserie des Musee.  Pat had a Chèvre Salad and I had the Pave deBouef with Frites, and we had a demi of Bourguiel wine, not a bad lunch.
