lists are fun!
I'm always passing by places that look interesting, then forgetting where they are. This afternoon, I paid very careful attention to everything that I thought could come in handy or looked cool on my walk home from classes, and then noted it all down as soon as I got back in:
Rue de Sommerard: Needlepoint tapestry store
Near Cluny: good, shady place to sit in the park
Rue de la Harpe: Good shopping, super-cheap crêpes and paninis; Tunisian bakery at the end of the street.
Bvd. du Palais (on Ile de la Cité): Berthillion ice cream stand (this is often called the best ice cream in Paris, and after trying it once, I'm tempted to agree)
Ile de la Cité: Palais de Justice & Sainte-Chapelle (super-long lines, but must-sees one of these days)
Re des Galles: bagel place, artisanal bakery.
Ile de la Cité also has a flower market Monday-Saturday. On Sunday it transforms into a bird market. These I must see.
