Paris Lundi

Sunshine, a piste cyclabile two comfortable unladen bikes and Paris. What more could one seek to vacation with? Well I guess the odd tart.....
Zooming down to the Tour Eiffel on Blvd Pasteur proved easy on our own lane.....losin it on the other side of town immediately made us aware of cars again as we splashed warily through flooded underground passages to cross roads upon which cars probably always go.
The Parc Monceau with it's quaint statues Chopin, Maupassant heroes one and all.....Aparently Marcel Proust liked to walk there beneath the 400 year old trees we liked it because it was green quiet and strange all at once........
Lunch on the champs elysees with a vivacious scarlet clad waitress...pates de jour tomate et creme.
Then down Paris velo 8 to Napoleon's ridiculously grand tombe and hospital for all the poor buggers who followed along. We started to view it but could not go on what with all the canon and the wheelbustin cycle lockup.
Onto Musee Rodin, closed Lundi wee stop and cafe and then a 20minute burst up the hill and we're back in the cave.......
