Saturday

Wandered through the Marais heading toward Marche des Enfants Rouge in cloudy, drizzly weather. Stopped in several shops along the way,  the Picasso museum boutique which is across the street from the museum, Repetto and a few others. Arrived at the Marche and got in line for a sandwich at Chez Alain Miam Miam.  He is quite a character - chats, snacks & spends about 15 minutes on every order as he slices the ham & cheese foe each sandwich and has to keep his wok of grilled onions going.  The basic sandwich is french bread, olive oil, lettuce, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, tomato, cheese (comte or cantal - he gives you a sample of each so you can choose), ham ( or smoked salmon, chicken or beef) either raw or cooked. The sandwich is then closed up and put o a grill until the cheese starts to melt.  Leas & I shared one and he scolded us for that & also pulled out his phone to show us his grand daughter on her first day of school. Quite an experience and a very good sandwich,  which we ate in the Square du Temple, a nice sized park- he has no table space. We then visited the Church of Notre Dame des Blancs Manteaux & Eglise Saint Elizabeth. Stopped in at Tumbleweed on the way back home to pick up a few things and say hello.
