| Gare de Lyon going retro |
 |
| This Metro busker was playing Gounod’s Ave Marie - it sounder heavenly echoing trough the tunnels |
Walk! I reckon we’re doing an average of 10km per day. Probably not that much but it feels like it - at least a third of that is within the labyrinth of the Metro and we are starting to feel like burrowing moles. But what I was going to tell you .....today finally we had a lazy day. Found our way to the Place de Bastille on the Canal Saint-Martin then sat down and watched the world go by - with a glass of wine of course. Eventually we roused ourselves to wander through the Sunday market in the Bastille just as they were packing up. Bought some dinner and wine and headed back to the Metro.
A little aside .... Some of the Metro lines are computerised - driverless trains running on rubber wheels or some such material. Quiet as!! Marvellous really. And we simply wandered from there. enjoy the scenes - in no partcular order ......

| Lindsay with a mouthful of cumin-flavoured olives. Delicious! |
 |
| French onion soup and quiche - delicious very French lunch! |
 |
| This woman (50s plus) arrived on a motor bike, donned her rollerblades and took off. |
 |
| Wish that I could have tasted them all |
 |
| A wonderful assortment of cheeses |
 |
| These cheeses? intrigued me but were packed away before I could try any |
 |
| Wouldn’t you love to own a boat and moor it here. |
 |
| This platform at Bastille, like a number of metro stations, is fully automated |
