After coffee and some walking around, met up with John R for lunch at an Italian place, Navigili. Interesting concept, a full buffet of appetizers and desert and then you choose a main course. Decent but nothing to write home about. Did some walking over towards the opera Garnier, which is still covered in some scaffolding. Stopped in at the Pinault/Bourse modern art museum, a place that is a fabulous building restoration, but seldom has anything on display that I find interesting. This trip was no exception. After heading home for some laundry and regrouping, decided to have a cocktail at the famed bar of the Tour d’Argent. Unfortunately it turned out that the rooftop, the main draw, is not open on Mondays, so, one very expensive Gin Fizz later it was out the door to meet friends for Avant Comptoir du Mer and du Terre.
