Another Sunday in Paris and the weather continues to be cool and a bit rainy. Of course that did not stop us from exploring, but the slower pace of the weekend is welcome. We decided to take on the challenge of the city busses. They provide a much better view of the Paris, and on the weekends with less traffic, they are fun. On our way to the market, we changed busses at Place de la Concorde. We spied Hotel Coislin which is attached to the Hotel Crillon. That was where we found the plaque commemorating the Franco-American alliance. Franklin had worked for over two years to convince the French to aid the Americans in their efforts. The signing of this treaty was the acknowledgment that the United States really was a country of its own. The wording on the plaque is interesting. It names the location, date, signers, and continues with ..."signed the treaty of friendship, commerce, and alliance, by which
France, first of all nations, recognized the independence of the United States.
After shopping for our dinner at the Rue Cler market, we moved on to a museum new to both Janice and me. The name was Musee Nissim de Camondo. At one time, this was the home of Count Moise de Camondo. He was a prominent banker that loaned money to the French government. When his son was killed while serving in WWI, he became reclusive. His only other child, a daughter, married, and lived at the beautiful home for several years, but then moved elsewhere with her family. The Count decided to will his home and art collection to the people of France. Tragically, after his death, his remaining family succumbed to the Nazi terrors and perished in a concentration camp.
Take a look at this website.

Behind this home is the equally beautiful Parc Monceau. I read that many brides like to have wedding pictures taken here, but whom did we see? I think this young woman wanted to be Cinderella. Her Prince Charming was just outside my frame. The photographer was setting up the picture
