We spent another lazy morning trying to recover from arduous week of singing and performing. After brunch we went for a walk along the Viaduct des Arts which is a block from us.

As you can see, each arch has a shop or workshop where many different crafts can be found. Many were closed for vacation and we will be checking them out in September. The viaduct runs for about a kilometer and has gardens and a path along the top. We will be doing that later. We stopped for tea (one of our favorite pastimes) along the way and noticed the building below.

It has six rather hideous carved statues along each side of the building. We wondered what was housed in the building although we did see that the ground floor was the local police precinct. This proves that if you keep your eyes peeled in Paris, you will find all kinds of interesting and provocative things to see.

Dinner was at home with Chef Erwin at the stove. After dinner, we did some TV, and some reading after a strenuous day in Paris.
