On this day we went to Montmartre, then went over to Les Galaries Lafayette where we had some hot chocolate at Angelina's, then did some shopping, then came back to the apartment to dress up for the birthday dinner we would then have at Le Grand Colbert. This birthday celebration (of my wife's) was the impetus for this trip.

On our street there are a large number of very small shops on both sides of the street. One of them is an art gallery that has only three pieces of art. We are passing it each day on our way to the metro and we think it rather ridiculous that such a small street would have such a small shop with only three pieces of art.
