Today I met up with Brigitte - a German married to a Frenchman - who I met on the first Meetup outing. She showed me round the 6th, skirting the Jardin de Luxembourg. We started out with a trip to Bon Marché. I don't know how I have managed not to go there before. Very pricey and with an abolutely fabulous food section.

Then we had lunch in a brasserie followed by another walk to see the church of St. Sulpice with its colonaded exterior. We wandered round inside and then walked down rue Férou passed a poem by Rimbaud painted on the wall. Then across the square in front of the Pantheon to find another church, Saint-Etienne-du-Mont which has fine carved stonework and the tomb of St. Genevieve.

An excellent walk around an area that I haven't explored before.
