Carnavalet

We spent an interesting morning at Musee Carnavalet, a Paris history museum located in two town homes in the Marais district.  Ever since I read Tale of Two Cities in high school, I have been fascinated with the French revolution.  Although the museum covers Paris history from earliest times to the present, we primarily spent time in the rooms devoted to the French revolution -1871.

We walked some new areas of Paris and continued to be amazed by how we find beauty everywhere we look.

Thanks to recommendations from MN friends, we got some great new cheeses from our favorite fromagerie today at the market.  In addition to Paul’s favorite comte fruite, we got some mimolette and crottin de chavignol..
