Paris in springtime

Paris is always lovely, even though it always seems to rain when we've been there.   Anyhow, we immediately set about fulfulling our gig commitments for the Farewell Tour ... so we walked from our hotel near Gare du Nord right across Paris to the Pantheon just off Boulevard St Germain ... for our obligators glasses of wine at Les Pipos.

It didn't disappoint ... and the accompanying jambon et fromage was better than we remembered ... but then the price was steeper than we remembered ... but then, that might be pensioner penny-consciousness compared with the old swash-buckling, free-spending corporate days.

Then, after a traumatic few days ... we headed back to our hotel at a time when most Parisians were barely getting into their stride ... oh, how we have aged!!
