On Sunday we got a bit of a late start, as Rachel's still getting over jet lag, and I wasn't enjoying getting up one hour earlier than usual. For breakfast we had crepes. I love Paris!

Then we went to the Marché aux Puces (flea market) at the Porte de Vanves. It was fascinating. We didn't buy much of anything, but we spent a couple of hours just digging through all the cool stuff. We've both been to a lot of flea markets in the US, but everything seems more interesting because instead of just being old junk, it's old French junk!
For lunch we had the lunch special at a small panini shop: panini, orangina, and sugar crepe!
After lunch we went back to Notre Dame to see the whole church. Saturday evening part of the church was blocked off during mass, but this time we got the full tour.
Then we went to the Centre Pompidou. On the way, we passed a McCafe, and I decided to find out if McDo's can actually make decent macarons. They're cheaper than macarons made by real patisseries, and while they're not awful, they're not quite right, either.

As we were eating our macarons we got to watch some live entertainment by a guy who was juggling torches.

Sunday evening we climbed all 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. I love the view, but I hate the steps! I realized that I've been up them at least six times in the past three years.

Then, as we were walking home, I couldn't resist stopping at this South Tunisian bakery that I absolutely love:
