Tom Shooting Sculpture on Sorbonne

Imagine the joy of walking down a street in Paris, glancing up, and then spotting – high above – a beautiful sculpted fanny protruding over the base of a pediment. This is what the City of Light is all about!

This month’s bountiful booty is part of a group entitled Les Sciences by Antonin Mercié. Sculpted in the late 19th-century, it is displayed on the façade of the Sorbonne University on rue des Ecoles. Science doesn’t get any better than this!

I stopped by Les Petits Plats de Marc this morning to take a photograph of Marc just as he was withdrawing a tray of scones from the oven. He will serve them to hungry customers today when they come in for Sunday brunch. (Note the pains aux chocolat in trays on top of the oven, ready for baking.)

Marc’s restaurant is one of the stops that we make during our gourmet walking tour entitled The Street Market on Rue Mouffetard.
