29.03.02: Le Brazza, rue du Bac
But it is true: in both of their visits we had not been to the Left Bank's one department store, Le Bon Marché (a name that to Montrealers evokes the TV commercials of a discount warehouse store that inspired a generation). So after the museum we stopped for a very sedate coffee on a quiet block of the rue du Bac. The walk home, lovely as it was, took long enough that I had to frenetically jump on my bike (which is pretty much what I live for, so no problem there) and book it over to the 5e through rush hour traffic to meet Thomas for another conférence de vins with the Georgraphy professor at his old department.
