This morning's view from the studio window. There are still quite a few leaves on the trees and Didier, the homeless guy is still encamped on his bench. I keep thinking that as it gets colder, one day he'll just disappear. Does he have somewhere to go in the winter, or does he just get more and more sleeping bags?
J and i had decided to target the left bank today and started off at Shakespeare and Company. Or Shakespeare and Selfie as it's now called.
Do you think i'm starting to look abit like Tintin? Maybe just the hair?
We dropped into the Pantheon to see where the great men of France, and one great woman (Marie Curie) are buried. The massive crypt there has plenty of room for lots more of the up and coming greats.
Circular things in the Pantheon.

From the Pantheon we walked down to the Luxembourg gardens, stopping off at a corner bistro for a bite of lunch. Even the fallen leaves in the Luxembourg Gardens seem beautifully placed.
This pile of leaves structure was somewhat intriguing.
The shadows of the chairs in the garden seem to be doing artful things.
Our own shadows were not as artful as the chairs. Oddly you can tell we're both holding cameras. And look, a moment of sunshine!
From the Luxembourg we wandered back up to St Germain des Pres to have a look at a really old church.
From St Germain des Pres we continued wandering towards the river and stopped at Laduree for some late afternoon refreshment. This pastry, which is a caramel filled puff pastry with fleur de sel is called a "Religieuse Caramel". And it was.
