- Paris
We got going, taking a cab over to Musée Jacquemart-André, 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!

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.
We took a cab back to the left bank to the Latin Quarter and went to St. Julien, which was also closed.

We walked down Boulevard St. Germain De Pres to the hotel, and ate dinner at Le Precope. 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.
