Preparing for the next day's adventures...
On Jay's recommendation, the high point of our day was a wonderful meal at Willi's Wine Bar, near the Palais Royal, where the ragout d'agneau (lamb) and poitrine de caille (quail) were especially tasty. After some lovely desserts and coffee, we walked and shopped our way back, passing through the glassed-over Galerie Vero-Dodat, along the edge of Les Halles, past the Pompidou Center and Hotel de Ville, all the way to the apartment. We trust all that walking balanced out any excess calories, though the meal was well worth it regardless.
