After a slow morning start headed out only to find it grey and rainy, back upstairs for an umbrella. Headed out to Belair to find the last section of the coulee Verte which I have not walked. This is an old elevated railroad line that went from Bastille to Vincennes and has been converted to a walking trail. I was never able to find the end at Vincennes so decided to try it outbound instead. Now I know why, it ends well short of Vincennes, and I poked through some pleasant areas and eventually hopped a bus to the chateau. Walk around a bit and then went back via metro to the Marche d’Aligre, one of my favorite local markets, and the Baron Rouge for some oysters and a glass. Ran into some other Americans and shared a charcuterie plate which made for an excellent lunch. Dinner was at Pierre Sang with Sharon and Darren, and was excellent, they have a new space all the way in back of a sketchy looking building and up 2 flights of stairs, but wow when you are in there, it is amazing. Excellent 1986 St. Julien wine and a multi course tasting meal. Sang is of Korean origin so everything has some interesting flavors to it.
