back in Paris

Yesterday while waiting for the train at Aix-en-Provence, two fully armed soldiers walked down the concourse inside the building. About ten minutes later they came back carrying four paper bags from Paul. Lunch.

It is quite cool  and there are fewer people in the streets this morning.

 


 














We went for a walk to BHV to do some shopping. Lunch at La Kantine on the fifth floor with a wonderful view of the Hotel de Ville and nearby buildings.
National Archives and gardens






Everyone is wearing puffa jackets, usually with horizontal puffs. They are mostly quite short. Some motorcyclists have “aprons” over their laps to keep warm, especially the ones who like to roar off at the traffic lights.
Two by two waiting to cross - safety vests are marked Mairie de Paris
