Tuesday
In a stall/takeaway on R. St Denis
which seems to be Lebanese or similar. Uschi has ordered a huge plate
of stuffed aubergine with potato and noodles.
We went to the Museum D'Orsay intending
to spend the morning there and the afternoon elsewhere. In the end we
spent all day at D'Orsay. There were a number of temporary
exhibitions, one for Gustave Dore and one on Van Gogh based on an
essay written by Antonin Artaud, "Suicided by Society".
We had lunch in the Cafe Campano, part of
the museum complex. Uschi and I had soft drinks and a blue berry
tart. The cafe is (obviously) bell themed with a large glass clock
face with views over the city. I assume it is the original railway
station clock. We later had afternoon tea in the more upmarket
restaurant. Just before 18:00 all the visitors were asked to leave
the museum.
After that we caught the Metro to the Galleries
Lafayette. Despite the advertising on the free map there didn't seem
to be any restaurants for our tea. There was an upmarket supermarket
but our intention was to get tea as well as look at the shops.
Eventually we left
the galleries and found a small Brasserie called, I
think, Le Mondial.
