And of course you are right that one must take precautions, even with a pass required for admission. Interesting that the train guard advised you needed a different mask than the one you had. I know of a case in Canada where this happened, too—only problem was the required mask was less protective! The person affected was an aerosol expert, so she took the issue straight to the government and press. But all that aside, it is just so wonderful that you had this brilliant respite, and we are lucky beneficiaries through your reports.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674930917585246294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-15272361873710008662022-01-09T11:54:59.279+00:002022-01-09T11:54:59.279+00:00Liam - the Saint-Sulpice restaurant was called Mad...Liam - the Saint-Sulpice restaurant was called Madamador, not -dou.

Or, as one Guardian article had it, time to limit their freedom so we can enjoy ours. Mind you, much as I value the 'green pass' (our NHS one worked everywhere), it doesn't mean that the admitted don't HAVE the Covid. So masking indoors at all times except when sitting at tables in restaurants and cafes is also essential. We were even told by an Italian train guard that we didn't have the right kind of mask - there is one I've rarely seen here which we had to buy in packs.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-63813320183670443992022-01-09T01:53:47.507+00:002022-01-09T01:53:47.507+00:00Having read your travel posts and enjoyed your pho...Having read your travel posts and enjoyed your photographs (the Varda headstone here may be my favorite), what struck me so much is that, for a good while, I forgot that the ability to travel like this is actually not the norm right now, to say the least. And so, I marveled even more that you'd ventured out and took it all in stride and had such a brilliant time. This brings to mind Macron's comment, "'The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off,' Mr. Macron said, using a French word that is more vulgar, explaining that a new, reinforced vaccine pass would make it impossible for the unvaccinated to go to restaurants and cafes, or the theater and cinemas." I am 100% with him. Let THEM be confined, so the rest of us can be let free to enjoy what the world has to offer, as you've done so marvelously in the European tour you've described in these posts.Susan Scheidhttps://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-52778975914213437432022-01-08T23:17:27.656+00:002022-01-08T23:17:27.656+00:00Merci David.

I was full of admiration that she died in harness, as it were, or as near as makes no difference. The story of the multiple adoptions and Grace Kelly to the rescue is only one of many that made me vow to read a biography. Lovely that she is EVERYWHERE in Paris at the moment, with the admission so recent. Actually also wanted to go in to the great building becaause Kiefer has some installations there which I believe are permanent. Ah well, some other time.<br /><br />Now tell me that you met La Varda and I'll faint. But JB will do.<br /><br />Liam - first night at large, mixed blessings in L'Îlot Vache opposite our hotel - but hugely entertaining spectacle of controlling mistress with older man sending back two bottles of wine, J giving a running commentary on what she'd do next (spot on). Second night, wanted a break from rich French food so had a simple meal in an utterly delightful Vietnamese restaurant, the Foyer Mon Vietnam, with a host clearly much loved by the locals there. Third, most perfect food recommended by a patron of a wine bar in the market near Saint Sulpice, the Madamadou. SLightly post-brothelly interior but giant escargots and both main courses couldn't be faulted. Bolingbroke, where's that?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-23713650735692709692022-01-08T21:01:40.366+00:002022-01-08T21:01:40.366+00:00I am sure I have shared my story of the night I he...I am sure I have shared my story of the night I helped Josephine on with her slippers after a performance. I only saw her that once and it was memorable on so many levels. I did have tickets for her grand retour at the Bobino but sadly that was not to be.<br /><br />As I said in my email - thank you for taking me to Siena, Venice and now Paris. It is a great escape from snowbound PEI.
