We started the day walking to les invalides, where Napoleans tomb is housed, with croissants and cafe au laits in hand. Neither of us had been here.
Les Invalides ( the Invalids, where the injured from the war would go) , the gold domed building.
Rodin's sculpture garden, with "The Thinker", in the background.....and the Eiffel Tower too.
Lunch was at this restaurant owned by a bakery that was next door to it. They specialize in tartine (open faced sandwiches) , and use the bread from the bakery for les tartines. It was all FFT.

Kyle's ham and cheese tartine
The Poilane bakery
Luxembourg gardens
The Sorbonne ( Parisian University) behind me. To the right behind me however appears to be a group of friends engaging in happy hour as it was 430pm. I wanted to join!
The Pantheon where Voltaire's tomb and many other famous French people's tombs are. Neither of us had ever been here either.

Afternoon snack
St. Severin
Notre Dame in the background
For dinner we ate at Le Quincambosse, which I found on tripadvisor. It was ranked the #5 restaurant in Paris, deservedly so. It was FFT. A husband and wife ran it. I took this picture because you can see the tiny kitchen in the background. We might go back tomorrow night!
My beef bourbignon with mashed potatoes and salad
Kyle's sausage and sauerkraut
The dessert menu
Hotel de ville (city hall) which had a skating rink in front of it. People were skating to booty music in the background. I called it "booty skate".
