Inspite of it being a rainy day, I ended up with a pretty full day. Started by trying coffee at the Noir location on Ile St. Louis, then headed to the Tour St. Jacques, another of those things that I have been trying to do for multiple trips, not open Monday and Tuesday, open 10:00am to 6:00pm on other days, but wait, closed for lunch for two hours, something not mentioned. Anyway, this time I succeeded and it was a fairly good tour with a 300 step climb to the top of the tower. Luckily the rain abated so that I could enjoy the views and get some decent photos. Afterwards it turned out that the Rotisserie d’Argent the cafe associated with the famed Tour d’Argent, and much less expensive, had a spot for lunch available. A proper French lunch ensued with Frog legs, followed by Duck confit and then a cheese plate. It poured rain while I was eating so was happy to be inside. Following that I walked over to the Conciergerie, a spectacular castle like building that used to house prisoners including Marie Antoinette. Mostly empty inside and some kind of annoying tablet to be used as a guide. I made short work of it. Alas tonight is the final night that Quentin is running the nearby Le Bucheron cafe. A bit of a party was happening and I brought along a bottle of Delas Croze Hermitage. Some singing and hijinks among the locals and they looked dug in for a long night. I headed back as I need to finish packing, clean up the apartment a bit and then head to CDG tomorrow for the flight back to Seattle.
