What is that ugly thing? That's Les Halles, don't worry the French think its ugly too. Its one of two honest-to-goodness malls in Paris. It is actually huge on the inside, there are three levels underground. Notre Dame is about ten minutes more on this street, and we'd be at the Centre Pompidou in five minutes if we'd made a left at Les Halles. In the background you can see Eglise Saint-Eustache. The area is fairly littered with centuries old buildings, after a while you hardly even notice them.
Over this way, past Saint-Eustache, is Rue Montorgueil, Paris' oldest shopping street. Its where we go for the boulangerie, the boucherie and the fromagerie. Why am I talking SO LOUD? So people will know we are Americans (
Mais bien sur!).
I'll take you back by why of the shopping arcade. Lots of real cool shops along here.
(pardon blogger does formating poorly so we had to break the post up to make it look right)
