Walked from Bastille and Place de Voges (did not linger, raining) all the way to the Beaubourg this afternoon. Some serious shopping in the Marais, along the way, and ogled the pastries but did not buy. (I'm not sure they would even taste as good as they look.)
And I did manage to find that shoe outlet on Rue de Rivoli, near Rue des Mauvais Garcons, but alas, they did not have any Arche shoes (last time I was here I bought several pairs!). Took in a very fine Matisse show at the Beaubourg (coming to the Met in Dec. 2012). Cloudy so view of Eiffel tower is not as spectacular as it should be...

Then dinner with friends at a Moroccan place in the Marais, called Restaurant 404 (which,
strangely, I had been to before). Excellent couscous and tagine of lamb
with peas and artichoke, and great atmosphere.
