This morning Asha and I went shopping at Galleries La Fayette where we met a wonderfully warm and friendly French lady called Veronique. She spoke English very well and actually used to be a dancing girl at the Moulin Rouge. She is very passionate about Paris and France and was very generous with her time to tell us about many wonderful places to visit and activities to consider during our stay in Paris. She was just charming! In the evening I booked lots of fun tours and activities on line. So all in all it was a pretty quite day!
As I type this many men continue to use the cunningly disguised outdoor water closet by the church across the road. Not the prettiest sight in Paris.
In addition, I’ve also noticed that the men who sell bottled water from buckets filled with ice around the Louvre actually store the bottles in storm water drains along our street. They lift up the round storm water coverings and extract their bottles which they hope to sell for the day. So hot tip – best not to buy bottled water from a man selling it out of a bucket of ice whilst in Paris!
