Called the taxi guy from last night. He had a 12:30 appointment but could come at 10:30 and give me a 1-1/2 - 2 hour tour.
I liked the man. He lived in Paris, but came here to raise his family at a slower pace than that of the capital. His English was both first-rate and very articulate. You could tell he loved this city. The price was less than regular taxi fare. I paid 35 Euros for the 1-1/2 hours. He dropped me off at the meanest place for pizza pie, named "Chez Carlo". I got there and it was almost MT. In 15 minutes, all tables were taken, some with hotties having their standard two (2) hour lunch. This is a religion in France and not to be messed with.
The pie was world class as expected. Walked back to the hotel and as indicated earlier, had a brief chat with the SW by the river. Went on line with the hotel internet for 20 minutes; but it was expensive. Time for a break.
P.S. Why are there so few fatties in France? 'Cause all the women smoke! Believe it!
