Lunch and a book shop

The Eiffel Tower will have to wait until I have downloaded Charlotte's photos this weekend.
In the meantime here is Angelina,
a Belle Epoque salon de the on the Rue de Rivoli across from Jardin des Tuileries.
It was the favorite tea room of Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel.
We enjoyed a very good light lunch, elegantly served.
We took a box of their signature pastry, the Mont Blanc, back to our hotel for later.
After lunch, we spent a lot of time and euros at this perfect bookstore next door. It is a French law that books cannot be sold at a discounted price; they take care of their artists in this country.
