Paris 2019 – Day 15

http://city-made.com/xltavrat.php We got up this morning, on the first day of Spring,  and showered because the water in the building was going off this morning from 0900 to 1200 hours due to some work in get e building.

uncommonly We took Shelley to the President Wilson Marché, one of the largest in Paris, it was not extremely busy today which was great for looking “Je suit juste là pour retarder”.  Shelley found the market very interesting observing thing that were new to her.  She purchased a dress for her granddaughter Lily and a new pair of gloves.  So many of the stall residents speak English so this came in handy, Pat and I are usually troupers about our bad French but I think Shelley found the English mad things easier.  Pat purchased some Paris kitchen towels and some tulips I stoped at one of the stalls and bought some terrine of Lapin (rabbit) to go with our wine and cheese tonight.

Next be boarded the 52 bus and headed to the Arc de Triomphe so Shelley could view it after Pat read the history.  We then took a stroll down the Av. des Champe-Élysées. We were amazed at the amount of damage that was done by the protested over the last number of protests, they seem to really have it out for the HSBC bank, breaking windows and all of their ATMs

We stopped for wine, Cappachino and Onion Soup for Shelley at the Bistro des Champe. Tonight were going to go dinner at  Le Relais du Bois. We have been her before and they have great liver.Shelley ordered the oysters, not realizing they were raw she did not think  she liked raw oysters but with some lemon and  capers from  Pat’s salad she enjoyed them. She ordered the filet of  Beef with  béarnaise sauce. Pat when the sole and the tomato salad and I went for the carrot salad and the veal liver.
