Napoleons Tomb
















Today I went to Musee Marmottan which boasts the world's most extensive collection of paintings by Monet. Followed this up by a visit to Les Invalides. This complex of buildings contains museums and monuments relating to the military history of France and is also the burial site of Napoleon.
I think the highlight today happened in the 16th arrondissement - the chicest of chic suburbs. I followed a madam, all coiffure and couture, walking her lap dog and having her man-servant bend down and pick up the 'merde' in what looked like a white hanky and put it in his pocket to dispose of later.

The man servant picking up the dog poo in a white hankerchief & putting it his pocket should be included in a film, set in Paris. It's so French .... no one does chic like them. What a lovely way to spend a holiday in one place & getting the full French experience. I'm so envious.
