I had to buy a Remy since I've spent time in Provence this week. And a large suitcase because I'm a shopping ju**ie. I spent modestly for each item, but there were a LOT of them! I did buy a Roland Garros linen shirt that cost a few pennies, but it is so perfect.

I hope to take more fashion pics today in Avignon. The folks in the first shot are from SCAD, hosting prospective students for a week in France. Whaaaat? The last pic I just loved this guy's color blocking ensemble.

Charles, Wes and I ate a hearty breakfast before exploring the Marais. We found, by accident, the oldest church in Paris: St Julien de Pauvre. We had timed entry for Notre Dame and were suitably stunned by the amazing interior. I found what I thought were artworks by 20th century artists, including Matisse - unexpected!
I retired to Shakespeare & Co to buy a book and find a shady place to wait while they climbed a tower at Notre Dame. 457 steps!
The day was not over, but the Louvre deserves its own post. We're off to Mt St Michel on the train today and temps are supposed to moderate tomorrow, thank goodness.

Best gift my mother ever gave me. Well, aside from life itself and my great-grandmother's teapot and her amber necklace, and the bowls from my paternal grandmother. Yes, that pretty much covers it.
