After a nice breakfast with many delicious jams, the next morning we headed back to Paris, lots of traffic as folks are preparing for the holiday weekend. Nathalie and Thierry were planning to take Margaux to the Tour Eiffel after they dropped us off, and they were so nice to bring us right to Catherine's gate.
Catherine was home, so we unpacked and chatted about our travels and relaxed a bit, did some email and jst visited for several hours until it got dark.
Catherine is tired these days from her illness, so we went on our own to rue Daguerre to what she always called "headquarters" for dinner. The street was busy as usual, and recalled fondly staying there one some years ago, right in the middle of the wonderful food. We dined inside as it was getting quite cold. Barney accidentally ordered an entire bottle of red wine, which the waiter thankfully took back and gave him just a glass. We had oeufs mayonnaise, a French traditional dish which I liked but Barney did not care for. He had a flavorful lamb with haricot verts, and I had a pasta with jamon and truffled cheese. Skipping dessert, we had a ncie walk in the mist back to 79 rue de la Santé, and headed to bed.
