22 September 2021 Paris Lunch at Angelina's

 


Yes this is the spread of desserts to go.  Its like the gift shop that  they make you walk through on the way out of every museum ever.  This is a historical 120 year old restaurant founded by an Austrian confectioner.  Coco Channel loved this place as did many of the glitterati.  The goal of the founder was to create a temple dedicated  to gluttony.  We had a delightful meal and were constantly entertained by our fellow customers.  The crowd ranged from an 80 year old dresses to the nines to some 20 somethings checking the mirrors and taking selfies.  Our waiter, Pierre, was also a delight. We then crossed the street and walked through the park.  Its the Jardins de Tuileries and is incredible.  There is a fountain with tiny sailboats.  Folks are walking by continuously and bed after bed of flowers.

Flowers everywhere


Boats to sail in the fountains


A big fountain to sail in


This guy brought his own Police boat to hassle the sailboats.  He buzzed the ducks and they all flew away
