One last walk around the neighbourhood...

We are off to St Antonin Noble Val tomorrow morning and so I took one last walk around the neighbourhood to incorporate lunch.  I thought I ordered a beef crust (which I thought was a pie) with sauted pomme de terre but I ended up with something much nicer - a shishkabab of fillet steak interspersed with red, green and yellow capsicums with the potatoes and salad.

There are many florest shops around and this one particularly took my fancy.

I was also rather taken by this decoration in a restaurant window of three fish carved from wood.

On the walk back to the apartment I took a different view of the Basillica.

And here is one of our apartment taken from half way down the first set of steps up to the Sacre Coeur. We are on the third floor above the cafe called "No Problemo".  We havent tried it, but it sounds very cheery and chatty in the evenings as well as at lunch time.  Myles did venture into it on Sunday night looking for some milk for the baby's bottle and it was freely given.  I went shopping on Sunday morning and found all the supermarkets were closed and although I was able to buy food for dinner at specialty stores in the market area (some sort of spicy sausage that I made into a pasta sauce with pasta shells) I couldnt find just milk anywhere - many different types of yoghurt, creme fraiche, cheeses all milk products but not just  milk.  We then discovered that Monday was a public holiday for VE day but the locals clearly were not too interested as everything was open.

I have been very taken with the tiles on the apartment building opposite us and have taken a few photos of them. This was taken at the same place as the one of our apartment.

I had better turn my hand now to packing for the morning pick up by our taxi man who will come to the apartment and carry out bags down to drive us to Orly airport from where we fly to Toulouse and pick up the car.  Next post will be from St Antonin.
