Paris 2017 -- sites and recommendations (1 of 9)

This is post #1 of 9 posts on France (Paris and Angouleme) 2017.

Some sites and recommendations around the city --- because it's Paris!


This bakery below has the BEST CROISSANTS!!! 










Two places I always recommend to visit:
Shakespeare and Company bookstore

Claude Nature Natural History store

Paris is a city of enormous doorways. Often, these were built for horse-drawn carriages to enter a courtyard on the other side of the doors!
Today -- these doors are usually accompanied by a keypad entry system.... it's all about knowing the codes!











Doorway and courtyard at the Sorbonne....

A fantastic find this year! "Asia Room" Chinese restaurant.
Yummy vegetable dishes. Free WiFi. Brightly lit. Bi-lingual menu -- plus pictures. 

Police horses on patrol!

Sign outside a cafe...
