After walking around Saint Germain des Pres we headed over to the Marais to meet Kim for dinner. Kim was working at a small jewelry store, but she didn't get off work until 7:30 p.m. (most stores in Paris are closed on Sunday, but since it is Christmastime they are open) so we spent a couple of hours walking around
Here are some weary travelers at the Hotel de Ville (which is not a hotel, but the town hall!). It is a very ornate building, with twinkling lights, and during Christmastime a skating rink is in front of it.
Across from the Hotel de Ville is a department store call BHV (which stands for Bazar de Hotel de Ville).
This was a wonderful jazz quintet playing music outside the metro station by the Christmas market on Blvd. Saint Germain. There are Christmas markets in several areas around Paris, but they don't have Christmas things for sale. We can't figure that one out!
