Sept 14 St Michel. A place teaming with restaurants.

Went to Les Deux Magots in Boulevard St. Germain--a famous café where writers,artists, philosophers and the like have been congregating for since 1884.  I don't think the coffee was extraordinary by any means, but the hot chocolate was certainly thick, creamy and sumptuous. 

We went to lots of food places.  At one point we went to a market and I bought gorgeous cheese....

Une tomme de Langres--un fromage au lait cru.  Il faut dire que ce fromage n'est pas timide. C'est un fromage fier, qui s'impose et qui crie très fort en disant,  "bonjour tout le monde...je suis là". (Au cas où vous n'auriez pas remarqué).

A round of Langres..a raw milk cheese. I must say this cheese is not shy. It's a proud cheese, which imposes itself and calls out loud saying,  "hello everyone...I am here. (Just in case you didn't notice).

We went with Michael and Julie to la Place Vendôme...a shopping district, which requires a certain budget. ..qui demande un certain budget...où plutôt un budget certain....(too hard to translate)

We went to many designer/homeware stores. Julie works at the Terence Conran store in London, so she loves that sort of thing.  I think she'd love it whether she was in that field of work or not. Both Michael and Julie could shop till they drop...I'm sure of it--given half the chance....and they don't like any thing cheap, that's for sure. Went to a store called "Colette" which Michael loves. We thought it was a weird, slightly confused store...couldn't work out what it was all about....oh well......

Les goûts et les couleurs..ce ne se discute pas!!   Oh well-- taste and colours... Can't be discussed. 

Later that night we went out for dinner was very nice...not too far from our apartment in Saint Michel.....(no not Michael.....the original Michel).
