<\/a><\/p>\nAfter a snack and cold drinks, we went to the Louvre Museum. We ate a late lunch was at the museum cafe.<\/p>\n Saturday was our day to visit the Palace of Versailles so we took a commuter train out of Paris:<\/p>\n We took the Metro to l’Odeon station and enjoyed an outdoor dinner at a French restaurant named Un Dimanche a Paris.<\/p>\n We had an early lunch of buckwheat (ble noir) gallettes, made fresh for us by a vendor from Brittany. Delicious! \u00a0We took the Metro a couple of stops to Cite to see the Sunday “bird market.”<\/p>\n We made a stop at Shakespeare & Company bookstore, then continued to Ile St. Louis for Berthillion ice Cream.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAfter we walked through the rooms in the Palace, we had fun exploring a small part of the formal gardens.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe had an early start to the Sunday market near the Bastille which runs along the Boulevard Richard Lenoir. It was a big local market filled with vendors selling a wide assortment of fresh fish, fruits, veggies, meat, bread, honey, wine, clothing and shoes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/a> \u00a0<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAs we passed Notre Dame Cathedral, we noticed the line outside was short and moving quickly, so we joined and entered the huge Gothic building.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
