On the way to Cujas Library...and around everything else

Wednesday, 18th of June and it is time to register for a monthly library pass to get access to the Cujas Library. That's was one of the main goals of this trip after all. Before reaching Cujas we had to pass through the Place de la Sorbonne. Watch this street performer...

Finally in front of Cujas Library. In France if you don't speak french things may be difficult. If the library front desk employee does not speak anything else than french he will deny to read any document, id or anything else written in any other language. Hopefully an english-speaking colleague of his had registered me once in the past so he was convinced that if I could register for a monthly pass some months ago the same could happen now.

After getting access to the books I wanted it was time to wander around Cujas, go for a meal and then back home...

Place du Pantheon
This was the place to eat according to our plan but we did not take the owner's will into account. It was 6pm already but the restaurant was not ready to accept customers yet.

Hopefully Les Pipos had equally good food a few meters further. I had a black sausage that tasted more delicious than it looked. But in food what it matters is the mouth not the eye...
And while we were having our meal at Les Pipos who showed up?
Remember him?
At one of these cafes we had a coffee and tea break...


On the way back home...

Pantheon again.
I like cities with downhills and uphills.
And of course cities with small alleys.
I take photos of street plates to remember where I was.

This is a typical block of flats in the center of Paris. By that you can get a pretty good idea of the high aesthetic standards of this European city. Of course there are some architectural sins -of two kinds I would say- but more comments on architectural sins will follow at the right time in the future.

This is rue Ecoles and Boulevard St Michel crossroad.

This is Paris III University. Faculty of Medicine and similar schools.

This road for a strange reason looked familiar even the first time I saw it.

The whole walk around these places and the photos did not happen in one but in two days time maybe more...
In Paris time feels different.
