Weekend Outings

We spent yesterday visiting the Park Royale / Louvre district and photographing the Eiffel Tower. It was a beautiful day and we managed to get some great photos of the tower. Lucky for us we had no plans to view the city from the viewing platforms as the lines for the lift and the stairs were formidable! Today we travelled on the metro to the markets at Porte de Clignancourt; wonderful antiques and vintage bric-a-brac ranging in price from a couple of euros to hundreds of thousands and some marvellously colourful characters. One day was simply not enough time to even scratch the surface. We bought a silver serviette ring to add to our collection and a vintage clutch (for Tonia!). Great day out... It is however, lovely to return to our apartment at the end of the day, and on the way buy a hot baguette to enjoy with some cheese and wine! And yes, already the belts have moved out a notch!!!
