Just a small update from today’s adventures in Paris: It’s been raining. That didn’t really stop anyone doing anything, tho, and I went out adventuring.
I’ll not spam your feeds with pictures of Paris landmarks, but I wanted to share pictures of the Gallery of Evolution at the Natural History Museum. This is the place I didn’t get to on my last visit. This time, I had no fever holding me back – this place is fabulous!
The light in this building changes every few minutes and there are sound effects, too. And I love how the terrestrial animals are placed on a mezzanine above the sea creatures.
Apart from this, I had a fun wander around Pigalle last night, mostly people-watching and avoiding clouds of dope smoke, and I went to Montmartre and the Trocadero this morning. Montmartre is still as tacky as I remembered from my first visit in the 1990s.
On another fun note, I have also spent some time looking for great crepes. The one I tried tonight had lots of potential for improvement, but the Grand Marnier was nice.

Finding great crepes in Paris should be like finding great BBQ in Texas… it shouldn’t be difficult at all. Toss a stone, hit a place that has ’em. Potential for improvement? That’s rather diplomatic of you. lol

A lot of the good creperies near me were closed today, it being a Sunday and a public holiday. *shrugs* There is always tomorrow. ;D

It is. 😀 I just should have frequented a cafe right next to a tourist hot spot. It was still fun, but crepes were … not what they could have been. There are two other places not far from here that are much more promising, but those were closed today.

Makes sense. Tourist traps never have the truly good stuff. You have to go native, even if for only a couple of hours.

Nothing need be said. You know what you have to do, and you’ll know when the time is right. Go forth and get awesome crepes. 🙂

There are some other great places for food on the list for tomorrow, too. Also, dinner last night and lunch today were both winners, so the disappointing crepe was an anomaly.
