in Ntrips, Paris
Found Mathias and Nicole in SFO airport, going in the same plane to Paris as I did:
Gallerie De Geologie et de Mineralogie
Gallerie de Paleontologie et de Anatomie Comparee
Illuminations aux Jardins des Plantes
More bakeries :)
On another day, I happened to be close to a famous cemetary I had never seen before:
Lunch with friends/schoolmates:
I tried to go find the Xmas tree at Printemps, but they were already tearing it down, got there too late :(
And that was it for 2024-2025!
first class looks nice, but hard to justify the price they want
this was more than good enough :)
my favorite, seared foie gras sandwich
the bad news is the elevator to the top is now closed forever, bit downer :(
and my favorite, blood orange juice
Notre Dame was finally re-opened after many years to repair all the fire damage, although it still had scaffolding outside. Unsurprisingly, there was a ridiculous line (looked like maybe 2H) to get in, in the 'no reserved slot' line as well as the other line for people who had reserved slots (making them kin dof useless). It would have been nice to go back in, but I've been many times and it wasn't worth the wait: That evening, went to Jardin des Plantes
