It rained in the morning. Around noon we took the Metro to the neighborhood of Jardin des Plantes. We walked around a market, then along the street Rue Mouffetard, visited the ruins of the Lutece arena, and finally went into a nice restaurant, L'Assiette aux Fromages, near the Place de la Contrescarpe. We had one of the best and longest meals ever: onion soup, chicken with ratatouie, duck and potatoes, and great Bordeaux wine; later the best creme brule, cheese sampler and espressos after the meal.
We walked back, passing by The Pantheon and Atienne's church. By the Seine we saw Shakespeare and Company, a bookstore with books in English (stamped "Shakespeare and Co. Kilometer Zero Paris"). We walked around the Seine and Ile-St-Louis, getting another ice cream, of course.
Llovio en la manana, asi que al medio dia nos fuimos en metro al barrio Jardin des Plantes, Caminamos por un mercado al aire libre, y por la calle Moufetard, y vimos las ruinas de la arena Lutecia. Lonchamos en un restaurante frances cerca de la plaza de la Contrescarpe. Ese fue uno de las mejores y mas largas comilonas que hemos tenido: sopa de cebolla, pollo con verduras a la ratatouie, pato con papas, y vino de Bordeaux; y de postre creme brule (como flan), quesos y expressos. Caminamos de regreso al rio, y llegamos a una libreria de libros en ingles: Shakespeare y Co. Despues caminamos cerca del rio y en la isla de San Louis, donde compramos otra nieve de garrafa.
