I went for a quick walk down to the Square des Batignolles this morning and saw one of the new trains that are being delivered for some of the services out of Saint-Lazare.

This is the best I could do from the rue des Dames bridge. |
Mary and I then went to Blanche and walked down to Les Halles along the rue du Faubourg Montmartre, the rue de Montmartre and the rue de Montorgueil.

After the Pigalle, Saint-Georges puts on an elegant face. |

This patisserie/chocolaterie always provides plenty of interest although the prices are outrageous. |

We wonder whether this is a chocolate toucan |
We made a detour through the Passages Jouffroy etc.

The Passages are always interesting with the blend of specialty shops and restaurants as well as a hotel and museum. |

Montourgueil is a street market similar to Levis although a little more upscale. It is surprising what one will see if one looks up above the ground floor - a golden snail. |
