Aujourd'hui, c'est un jour merveilleux

[intertext]

Lunch at Mon Vieil Ami, on L'Isle St Louis, consisting of seafood and vegetables en croute, a glass of chardonnay and coffee, 26 Euros. Five books from Shakespeare and Co, 77 Euros. Ticket for a concert at Sainte Chapelle, 25 Euros. A day spent marvelling at stained glass windows and gorgeous unicorn tapestries, eating fabulous French food, chatting with an English girl at Shakespeare and Co who is a fellow Jeanette Winterson fan, climbing the tower at Notre Dame to get a gargoyle's eye view of the city, and listening to Vivaldi while sitting inside a veritable jewel of a chapel: priceless.

Ooh! Aahhh! Saint Chapelle....I love going there in the afternoon and just sitting, feeling like I'm in the middle of a jewel. And the under chapel as well. I could just sit there for hours letting my mind drift around the cosmos. Soak up some Paris for me and bring it back home :-)

What a perfect Paris day. Shakespeare & Co is one of my favourite shops anywhere on the planet, and the Ile St Louis is such a lovely, relaxing place to go - but with some killer ice-cream shops.

I'm glad you;re having asuch a good time.
