Lundi

After 2020 and 2021, I’m a bit amazed to finally be sitting in an apartment in Paris! I arrived this afternoon and took the RER B into the city. The apartment is very close to the Luxembourg RER station so it was super convenient. I’m very familiar with the 5 ème, having stayed here many times with Claire. The Sorbonne is in the middle of the arrondissement and it’s not a very touristy quartier. The apartment is fine…not great, but fine.

I got to the apartment mid-afternoon and settled in. This mainly included going to the grocery store and a walk, futile, to the Swatch store in rue du Cherche-Midi (separate story). Tonight was a delightful dinner at Le Perrraudin, a traditional bistro very close to the apartment.
