A Lovely Time in Paris - But Not Like Spring Weather

Tuesday morning saw us setting off for a couple of days in Paris having left our home in the capable hands of one son who is, thankfully, past the 'party" stage.  We were due to meet up with a friend from America for Dinner that evening.  Kim is having a few days in Europe and I hope she is now warmer than she was in Paris because she went on to Rome (her Facebook Photos look as if it is nice weather).

We had a lovely surprise as the friend we stay with when we go to America had sent some money over, with Kim, so that she was actually paying for our meal - isn't that a lovely thought - and a complete surprise.  Thank You!

This is Frank, Nancy and Chas in la Grange on Rue de Mouffetard where we had a lovely meal.

Our last day was the coldest and the wettest so I suggested we rode the Metro for a short while and took some photographs of the interesting Metro Stations.  Here are some of them (well, it is a change from the usual)

Concorde

and a close up

Cluny La Sorbonne

Pont de Neuf

and the weigh machine across the platform

Entrance to Palais Royale

... and for my dear dil a bit of Egyptology

Marie Antoinette

and the most colourful

the Bastille

This one was in relief so I tried to let you see that it was not a flat painting

Didn't get the seventh one which was Abbesses - I think they may have covered the graffiti wall now with pictures - or we tried to exit from the wrong place.  Also, most disappointed that I missed the Arts de Metier station as it is all clad in copper and is based on the writing of Jules Verne.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I did taking them - perhaps it might give you an idea of how to spend a wet hour or two in Paris.  In the meantime you can read all about them here.
