Not a very good nights sleep as loud drunk people were making noise in the park outside the hotel. Combine that with Jetlag and not a great night. Dinner with Linda and David, last night, partners in the fractional was great, Vins des Pyrenees, followed by the speakeasy upstairs with some live jazz. I hit the wall around 9:30pm but they stayed on. So started the day with a trip to NoGlu and then went into the Marche d’Aligre. Excellent coffee place in the covered market called Early Bird, the owner had done some pilgrimage walking and gave me a hat. Took that back to the Hotel and got a call from Oliver Gee who had just arrived at the coffee place, so turned around and went back to visit with him. His podcast, “The Earful Tower,” is fantastic and if you have any interest in Paris well worth looking through. Morning weather was light rain mixed with hard rain, but luckily it cleared up around lunch time. Following this it was lots of Metros and buses as I went to see Peter Turnley’s photos at Hotel de Ville, then to see the wrap at the Opera Garnier, and then off to Breizh Odeon for a lunch crepe. Back to the hotel before meeting high school class mate Mariko Gordon and her son for an Apero at Le Compas followed by an absolutely wonderful dinner at Le Mazenay. This may have been the best meal I have ever had in France. French food but with a slight Vietnamese touch and friendly waitress and an excellent bottle of Vacqueras. Highly recommend this place. Fairly early to bed as train trip down to Moissac in the morning.
