Yes, I know; it could be worse. My parents who were traveling in France, both ended up in the hospital for different reasons. So I am here for a week taking care of them. The only caveat is that I cannot leave “Rue Clar” for more than an hour at a time. So mostly I am enjoying the French restaurants and buying some delicious treats for the local shops. I have tried a few places for morning croissants, and also am envious of Parisians who can buy a delicious baguette for just 1 euro.
Enjoying the sights and foods of Paris
After some initial technical problems, I will try to post photos of the foods of Paris as often as I can. Check back over the next few days.
Lunch in a random cafe in Paris. My parents are standing.
Below is a gallery of some of the sights I was able to see (click on image to enlarge).
Au revoir for now

Stuck in Paris? Could be worse – LOL. Make it memorable! Seek out the farmers markets if possible….if any are close. I understand you can’t travel too far from home base.
Hope your parents are OK! So you only have an hour to run out and find the best food you can?! LOL, that sounds like a new reality show.
The are much better now, thanks. But I have to find the best food within 2 block radius. Fortunately it seems to be a pretty good two blocks. Good food, at least half to two-thirds are French customers; not the total tourist trap.
