What I did yesterday - another gorgeous day in Paris!
I'm off to see an expo of watercolors by sketchbook artist par excellance, Fabrice Moireau from his new book Toits de Paris on 5, rue St.-Romaine 75006 at his publishers.
Exquisite views in shades of Paris greys.
You come out and automatically look 👁️ up to those rooftops.
Then 👁️ down at the cerises everywhere in the marche
A bit further up rue de Sevres I'm in the irresistable Le Grand Epicerie. I trail after un homme in a cerise red jacket
I pick out a 'designer' box lunch of cerise tomatoes for a snack - a layered affair like a verrine.
Back in the Metro to Sonia's expo in St. Germain. In Le Hune's vitrine this red poster makes me pause. Should I start doing leg circles right here in the street? It couldn't hurt.
Cafe de Flore across the street. Jam packed, every square inch of pavement 
I stop at the Cafe de Flore shop, which for once is open.
Naturalment the credit card machine won't take my card so I just buy this packet of cafe magnets and run 🏃♀️ 
At 15,rue Saint-Benoit to la galerie Catherine Houard of Sonia Rykiel - 2 floors of croqui sketches.
Back into the Metro for a tiny trip to l'Isle St-Louis to pick up a tiny dolls house silver tray at L'Ile Flottante
I check if La Charlotte de L'Isle is open. Not. Only on Thursdays - Sundays. Closed forever😥
Another Metro to an expo of architecture + bande dessine -BD/comic books at Cité de la l’Architecture.
The exhibition covers New York, Paris, Tokyo and the evolution of comic books through various cities and their relationship to architecture
Videos, giant sketchbook blowups, interactive demos where you can turn the pages. Altogether a brilliant display of great drawings
Incomparable city views tied in with cultural aspects...Just Go!
Time for some R & R againOut comes the silver tray I bought on Isle St-Louis to shoot some still life setups. Plus a gouter of macarons + a tisane de fleurs d'oranger
At last I head home to collapse with a stop in Printemps - displays girls walking dogs. It reminds me of Sonia Rykiel's doodle of dog walkers.
BONJOUR A DAY IN PARIS!
