Left Bank

Pompidou is closed today so we'll do it later this week. Went though the Île de la Cité and across the river to the Left Bank.  Right at the riverside are plenty of street vendors selling old books and illustrations. We pick up some prints for the house and walk along the river. We look at some options for cruising the Seine and decide on more research.

Loretta has her portrait done by a vendor in pencil on one of the riverside quays. It is extremely well done. Fred noticed that he started at one corner and worked his way to the other corner. He tells Loretta stories in his soft French-toned voice that is hard to make out over the bustling noise of the city
