Comme Chez Maman

After spending Friday at Carrefour and catching up on some sleep, on Saturday we headed downtown.  

We started with lunch at a restaurant recommended by my boss, Comme Chez Maman.






Carrefour

Not my first choice of things to do in Paris, but we spent Friday at the Carrefour near our hotel.  It is connected to a shopping Mall.  I thought it was decorated in the style of the Pompidou Center where the internal components (pipes, ducts, wires...)  are on the outside, but it's actually just under renovation.





We stocked up on meats and wines






The Bubba Gump's Of Mussels

At the Carrefour Mall they had a branch of Leon's, the mussel specialists.  You can get a salad or some fries, but everything else is mussels - steamed, baked, fried, boiled and seasoned with every flavor you can imagine.  We were joined by some of Nuch's colleagues.

Almost Home

Nuch stopped by the vet to see Kittie. She's almost ready to come home, but we are going to Paris for the weekend, so she must stay for a few more days.

Poor cat - she picked the wrong home to adopt.
