12 September 2025 Paris: Lunch and Some Wandering

 


After our Dior experience we wandered a bit down the street for lunch.  Leslie got the Vichyssiose salad and I got a a tasty chef salad and we enjoyed the show starring the folks outside.  Families with eating disorders, travelers with big beers and cigarettes, bike riders, dog walkers, tourists of all flavors and a trio of older German ladies having a great day out.  We continued strolling and passed the Grad Palais the Petite Palais and the most fancy bridge right next to them.



Who is the fanciest lady in the room


Sitting inside so we don't smell the smoke


Passing another museum


Ride that horse


Or this horse maybe


The Grand Palais constructed in 1887 for the same worlds fair as the Eiffel Tower


The tri-color is flapping


A very expensive fancy car and a very expensive six wheeled truck



Two little doggies


Around the back of the Grand Palais


We peeked inside but could not get in


A grand staircase


Look at the giant bronze on the roof


Busting right off of the roof


These cards were taking folks out on tours


Over $100 per person on the tour


The Petit Palais


Another tour


Floral beds


Winston Churchill


Walking over the bridge Pont Alexander III from 1897-1900


Le Tower


Shopping cart roasted corn


Back at the house they had these huge columns


All over the courtyard


Some shiny spheres too


Hey there!


The trees of the courtyard
