Sunday in Paris

Sunday is not easy in Paris.  The key is going out to the flea market.  We went out there around 11 and had a bite at Cocottes.

Great space.

They were preparing for lunch later with these chicken rotisseries.  I have never seen chickens out like this just twirling in front of the heat.

The restaurant has an amazing metal circular stair going down to this bathroom.

Here are some highlights of what we saw.  Furry couch.

Hanging credenza.

A tiny shop completely devoted to an office.

Cool chandelier.

Red glass sconces.

Thought a lot about these three pieces but in the end we passed.

This ship has four shot glasses in it and a bottle for scotch.

Nice speaker in one store.

Now this is a great couch for lounging.

I do have a thing for taxidermy.

Old footballs and medicine balls.

Old wine and vegetable boxes.

This space is super cool.  There is this one area that has high end curated shops including the restaurant Buvette.

Lunch was at Paul Bert.  Packed with families.  Nicoise salad.

We ended the week with our friends at Semilla, second time back.  This lamb shoulder was for two.  Special that day. Over the top.

Dessert was a deconstructed eclair.

Walking was needed and we headed down to the Seine.  The lock situation on the bridges is ridiculous.  Not sure when it amplified but I believe about 5 years ago.

I love that they are trying to educate everyone to love without locks.

Back for bed.  Our friends leave tomorrow morning and we head out Tuesday.
