We got going, taking a cab over to <\/a>Mus\u00e9e Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9<\/a>, which is a small private collection on the right bank. They have a few rooms of Italian Renaissance paintings, including a Uccello painting of “St. George and the Dragon.” We ate a wonderful lunch at their cafe – they specialize in salads, I had one with foie gras, cold duck breast, grilled figs and apples, along with lettuce and a basalmic vinegar dressing – yum!<\/p>\n

We walked over to a cab stand to call a cab – saw an interesting poster on a hair styling salon; you wouldn’t see this in the US.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/a>

We took a cab back to the left bank to the Latin Quarter and went to <\/a>St. Julien, which was also closed.<\/p>\n

We walked down Boulevard St. Germain De Pres to the hotel, and ate dinner at <\/a>Le Precope<\/a>. As a warning, if you intend to visit Paris on a Sunday plan to visit museums, as most of the shops are closed as are many of the churchs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
