Started off with a coffee at my nearest good coffee shop, Le Peloton, run by New Zealanders. Then off to NoGlu for some GF croissants. Then it was off to the 17th arrondisment to explore the Market of Batignolles and Rue de Levis. This is a favorite street of one of the French facebook group leaders, Vero, who is also a Rick Steves guide. Weather here is off and on rain, not particularly hard, but enough to need an umbrella. Fortunately, mid 60s temperatures are relatively comfortable. Unfortunately, they are remodeling the commercial space below my apartment and so they are drilling concrete most of the time during the day, not very relaxing. For lunch, I headed to Rue de Montorgueil one of the great pedestrian restaurant streets in the center of Paris. One of my favorite terraces is a place called Le Compas and they had a wonderful shell fish and rice meal, perfect with a glass of Sancerre. After that, tried to track down a Melita filter cone for making coffee, eventually found a ceramic Japanese made one at BHV and am giving it a test drive, also found real heavy cream, which makes all the difference. For the evening, hopped the bus over to Deux Magots and then some risotto at Les Editeurs.
