Our daily basket came. We will miss the daily basket. We checked a second place to stay in case this is full next year- Hotel Palym which is close by. Off to the Marais district to see Victor Hugo's house. We really like the Marais district especially Rue St. Antoine. Found the house with Dow's help. The square is called Place des Vosges and is Paris' most beautiful square. His house contains beautiful paintings, furniture and statues all throughout. Most of you know that he wrote the book Les Misérables . Well, Les Misérables the musical is our favorite musical. It is coming to Pittsburgh in November and we plan to go twice.


We next visited our favorite pate' store and bought some pate' and salmon tartare for tomorrow night since we are eating lunch tomorrow and packing in the evening.


Getting a little nervous about the COVID test tomorrow. C'est la vie (such is life).


We went to a restaurant that we liked in the past but, they had new owners and we didn't like the menu or host. We had a drink and left. Went to a corner bistro that was ok but, we wasted a night in Paris – merde. This really upset me but when a restaurant changes ownership you never know. What makes me mad is that I should have known. There are so many restaurants to choose from and  because it is Saturday night made it worse. Merde merde!


How many times have we seen Les Misérables?   5 , 10, 15 , 20, 25, 30, 35 +
