June 18th. And, to be honest, I was after company rather than a list of places, although all gratefully received.
I shall enjoy it walking, nibbling and looking, if the weather holds. Tourist stuff on the Saturday (by force), and culture on Friday night, work on Monday, but Sunday is Mine.

There's a windmill on a hill if company's all your after.

You two are sick.
(Le Moulin isn't showing anything great at the moment, and Friday we're off to something to do with horses, apparently.)

The brother with a flat in the 17eme isn't really Downsizer material.
However, should you really want a lightly-used executive jet, I'm sure he'd return your call...
Paris is relatively quiet (shut) on Sunday. Brother frequently goes out to the Guinguettes on the Marne for Sunday lunch. Its a sort of partial escape from the city, but not from accordions...

Gervase goes to Paris?
Does he know Le Dougal?

Hm. Private jet. I don't think so. It appears to be the Paris Airshow, so I may find the skies a wee bit crowded...

Sainte Chapelle - the other end of the island to Notre Dame.
Lower storey is a Byzantine influenced chapel - richly coloured mosaic tiles. The upper storey is fantastic, near floor to ceiling stained glass. Like standing in the middle of a kaleidascope.
Also - Berthillon, round the back of Notre Dame over the bridge to the smaller island. Countless flavours of sorbet. I highly recommend the Pear, Mango and especially Chocolat Noir.

Sandrine Voillet tells the story of how Paris rose up from the blood-stained streets of the French revolution to become the worlds first great modern city in just 100 years. From restaurants to Rodin, from boulevards to bistros and from photography to the Impressionist painters, Paris led the way in transforming the way people lived, worked and played in cities.
Art historian Voillet reveals why Parisians loved their sewers and courtesans, but hated the Basilica of Sacr� Coeur and the Eiffel Tower.
