Paris is famous for its food, especially its pastries so here are a few photos of some things that looked really good to me, most on rue Montorguile.

I think this is some sort of apple tart (photo through a window). 12 Euros-not a bad price for a whole tart.

A little something to take home for lunch or dinner so you don’t have to cook-found at Stoher’s.

All you need for a dish of ratatouille. I like that all of them are perfect, without one blemish.

I love merengues but they sure are messy.

Rose flavored merengues with tiny roses on top.

I have got to find out what these are. I love the cute little piggy shapes. They are a pastry. Maybe you just feel like a cochon if you eat one.

A few things seen strolling along Rue de Rivoli.

The garbage men are staging a strike in front of the Hotel de Ville. It looks pretty messy there, the strikers seem to be drinking quite a bit and the police are keeping an eye on things.

There are always free exhibits given at the Hotel de Ville. I tried to get in to see the one on Grace Kelly only to find that it was temporarily closed.

Once past the Hotel de Ville you can turn into the Marais area. This is the view from the end of Rue du Rosiers, the main street of the Jewish quarter.

A door that I like -the shape, carvings and color.

An especially lovely turret in the Marais.

There are two of these handsome fellows on what was once a residence in the Marais. I think they were supposed to scare away evil spirits.

A few shots around or on rue Montorgueil.

I love this old door. I almost think painting it would be a shame.

An inviting line of tables. I learned from a friend to look for lines of objects for photos which is a fun thing to do.

A cute little pig on an advertisement for a clothing shop who has a color fetish, whatever that means.

A place that has served escargot for years. Not my favorite thing seeing my garden crisis in Provence but, I guess if you put enough butter and garlic on something, it can be pretty tasty.

The church, St Eustache.
