Saturday 09/07/2016 – An evening as part of Paris café society

Montparnasse comes to life at night, theatre goers mingling with those chattering the night away in the bars and cafés.  Our original intention was to return to Clairefontaine and then out for a meal but the best laid plans of mice and dragons……..  With all the excitement of the day Danny was feeling very thirsty so after he’d begged we went into a Montparnasse café.  This turned into a long visit as we found a table with two Parisiens, one of whose English was on a par with my par with my French and one who was a proficient English speaker.  He was able to act as a go between when there were any problems with translation.  Much time was spent putting the world to right, more particularly England after its decision for Brexit.  As sunset turned to dusk and then into night Danny and I wandered between the theatres of Montparnasse before selecting what turned out to be a remarkable Italian owned restaurant in the centre of Montparnesse close to the Gendarmerie for the 14^th arrondissement.  From there it was home to bed zzzzzzzzzz.
