Place Leon Blum and beyond

I have mentioned Place Leon Blum several times in my blog updates. Here's a photo of the rue Parmentier side of the Place. You can also get the no. 61 bus from here to the Jardin des Plantes, which is just a 10-minute walk to Pascals and very convenient for Susie.

I'm also including a photo of our favorite patisserie, Maison Rouyer, which just happens to be located on Place Leon Blum, in fact directly opposite the above photo.

The image below is a patisserie right down rue Parmentier from our apartment -- word is the bread is good but the pastries less so. We have not tried it yet but it seems to be popular with the locals.


I expect to check out their pastry creme offerings today.

Right next door to the entrance to our building is the very tiny Arte cafe. They make the best Italian coffee we've had in Paris so far and usually have a homemade quiche or gateau of some kind or another out for sale.


Wish you were here,

Steve
