The rain started today as we made our way home from exploring the endlessly interesting St-Denis/Château d'Eau area. There are some great cheap food options around there, mostly Turkish and Middle Eastern. Also a small but decent covered market, a fancy pâtisserie called Tholoniat that we've heard good things about, some divey bars, the beautifully old (1860!) Brasserie Flo (located within the coolly isolated Cour des Petits Ecuries), and many warren-like passages devoted to wholesale clothing and/or the sex trade.
Anyway, this post is not about that. This is about remembering, during the coming rainy days, what we did a couple days ago when it was 70ºF and we spent part of the afternoon lying on the grass in Place des Vosges. Lying on the grass, specifically at Place des Vosges, is a top five favorite activity for us.
Here is what you would see if you joined us.
so relaxing
Funny, that's our favorite thing to do in Europe, too.
ReplyDeleteIs that green grass? In March already? There's something very unfair about this. It'll be months before we see a scene like this in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's full-on spring here now. Very nice.
