Headed out to try a new to me Gluten Free bakery. Not sure how I missed this as they have multiple locations, including one about to open just around the corner. Anyway, found the closes open Copain and bought a few things to try and they were quite good. Then after some grocery and cheese shopping it was off to the Hotel de La Marine, to check that out. Restored apartments in a large building just off the Seine with good narration. From there, off to Les Invalides, which actually has three separate museums. I decided to save those for another day and walked the grounds. Stopped by the Rodin for a quick walk around the gardens. After lunch at a local bistro in the 7th, Tried to get into the Pinault, La Bourse, but they kept people waiting outside forever and then there were 30 school kids all with backpacks trying to get through the 2 person security check point and not being well handled. I think this is the second time in row I’ve walked from that museum, which although the building is cool is not very good anyway. Definitely not going to renew that membership if I can’t ever get in. Reminds me of being at CDG, not a pleasant experience. Back to the apartment for awhile and then to dinner at CC house. Cheese was well received! Raining now but not very cold. Lots of tents set up in front of the St. Paul area, so must be some kind of fair or market going on tomorrow. Lily generously gave me some tickets to the independent producers wine festival tomorrow, and event that happens twice per year. Will meet Léopoldine there, she know the terroir!
