The Brasserie Balzar
Near the Sorbonne, Sarte and Camus’s frequent hangout where they dined and debated. Insert shot of Menu: Breakfast for 6 Euros includes a croissant, tartine, confiture, hot drink, orange juice.
A View of the Tower
Size is relative.
The Paris Apple Store
Probably the most elegant of all the Apple branches.
The Paris Collage
As you can see, I got a bit carried away playing with the features in the photo editing site Picmonkey.
Again, Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home with Books, Paris in July at Bookbath and Thyme for Tea.
Thanks to Zara Alexis for pointing me to PicMonkey.com for making these collages and watermarks.

You can always go there since you’re almost neighbors. But for me it’s a long trip. I’m sure I’ll be back there again some time. THere are still so many places I’d like to see.

Is it bad that my first thought was, hey, that’s a good price for breakfast? But I never much liked Sartre–and Paris has expensive food!
