Moving from the 3rd to the 5th Arrondissement

 

After seeing the rest off on Thursday morning, we headed to the Latin Quarter where we will stay for the rest of our time in Paris. We had some time to kill since we couldn't get our new place until mid- afternoon. We sat in the park watching kids play and people eating lunch; then was intrigued by the dismantling of a five story scaffolding - all by a hand pulley system.

Our new apartment is on the 3rd floor of a building on the corner of Rue Mouffetard - our bedroom window is middle row of windows right on the corner above the fruit stand's red awning.

 

Rue Mouffetard is a market street, and as Daniel who let us into the apartment said - everything we need is right here. There are cheese shops, boulangeries, fruit stands, many cafés, fish and meat markets, chocolate and ice cream shops, etc... After settling in, we went out and gathered basics and fresh pasta and veggies for dinner.

 

Above, Mary stands in front of our "kitchen in a cabinet". It worked just fine to make a wonderful meal - fresh pasta and pesto, salad greens and bread from our market street.
