Sarah and Jim from Sanibel arrived in Paris a week ago, and we made plans to get together for drinks and dinner. We started with champagne at our apartment, then we walked to Le Granite where I’d made a dinner reservation. That gave us a chance to show Jim and Sarah this Grenelle neighborhood (as well as part of the Vaugirard neighborhood). It was great fun – we talked until we were the second-to-last table to depart the restaurant. Food was excellent, too. After dinner, Tom and I walked them up to the Boucicaut metro station, where they caught the line 8 to take them back to the 8^th arrondissement, where they’ve rented an apartment for a couple weeks. This morning, I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with emails regarding the water pollution problem caused by Lake Okeechobee releases back in south Florida. So today, mostly what I have to share with you are more photos. A bientot. This Wallace fountain (in the 16^th arrondissement) is unusual because of its straight columns in place of statuettes of four women. Pizzaria on rue Bastien Lepage in the 16^th arrondissement. Gated hamlet off the avenue Mozart in the 16^th arrondissement. Find me on Facebook

Saturday, August 24, 2013 Single-family townhomes, when I do find them, spark my imagination in Paris. This one is just off the boulevard de Grenelle. A townhome near the Eiffel Tower (avenue de Suffren?). Townhomes in the 16^th arrondissement. ← Previous Next →
