My fourth week begins to a cooler day and everyone back at work where they belong.
Lunched in rue Montorgueil, a trendy pedestrianised street in the 2nd arrondissement. It is lined with famous restaurants, little cafes, bakeries, fishmongers, cheese shops, wine shops, produce stands and flower shops and is one of the best places to watch cool Parisians in their natural habitat.
Followed this up with a visit to Jardin les Plantes, the local botanic gardens, and the zoo. This has been restocked after nearly all the animals were eaten by Parisians during the Seige of Paris in 1870. The little kangaoroos looked so far from home.

Well I hope you gave those wee kangaroos a few friendly words and assured them that their homeland was still as culturally bereft as when they last (if ever!) saw it.
